Logan Paul and brother Jake at the premiere of their new TV seriesCredit: The Mega AgencyThe bout was marred in controversy amid the age gap and became a topic of conversation on Logan’s podcast which he co-hosts with Mike Majlak.And leading the criticism was Jake’s biggest rival KSI, who said: “Mike Tyson is 57 years old. “Like, yes in his prime this would’ve been crazy. Now it’s just like, sad.” Jake opened up on the brotherly feud in episode one of his family’s new eight-part reality show Paul American – airing on HBO’s Max.
