      ‘You’re lost to me brother’ – Jake Paul’s incredible bust-up with Logan over Mike Tyson fight revealed in documentary

      by

      JAKE PAUL had an explosive argument with brother Logan before his fight with Mike Tyson. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake was initially due to face Tyson last July when the heavyweight great was 57. 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. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe said: “Logan is constantly undermining me any chance he can get. “He’s siting there with my biggest enemy talking s*** about the biggest accomplishment of my life.”It’s just not what brothers should do.”Logan was doing a photoshoot for Prime – which he co-owns with ex-boxing opponent KSI – when he got an angry phone call from Jake. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAnd Logan, 29, says: “No one’s not going to watch Mike Tyson because I said he was old. Everyone knows he’s old.” But Jake, 28, argued: “You are the closest person to it and you’re undermining it. Sitting there with KSI talking s*** about it.”My dad pitted me and Logan against each other growing up… but my kids will NEVER be like that, says Jake PaulLogan responded: “Bro, what the f*** podcast did you watch? I upped you the whole time. “I said you could knock him out in the second if you two were to actually go at it. You’re going to beat him.”A heated argument broke out when Jake says: “You’re so lost to me, brother.”And Logan fired back: “Who are your yes men? I’m not that. “I’m not that. Get other people to tell you it’s going to be a good fight against Mike Tyson, he’s f***ing old.”Jake replied: “I have amazing friends and family. You don’t even have a single f***ing friend, bro. Mike’s a f***ing paid friend.”Logan countered with: “You live in a house with your paid homies.” Before calling his brother a “f***ing b***h” for hanging up. The camera cuts back to Jake, who said: Jake: “Sometimes I just don’t get why Logan treats me this way. “It’s sociopathic lack of empathy for his younger brother and he’s constantly trying to tear me down.”We can go from hating each other to loving each other. And that’s what being a Paul is all about.Jake Paul The row did not stop there as the two then took the debate to text messages – which were shown on screen. Jake wrote: “You are truly a gaslighting, delusional, ego driven narcissist whoI can’t even trust, man. You need a lot of help, I pray for you.”Logan text back: “You are surrounded by yes men who will do anything to make the next check off you.”Moral compass skewed in directions I’ll never understand. “Lie to yourself and your friends, then call me a narcissist. Grab a mirror fam.”What is most impressive is amid the falling out, the two were pitching their all-access show to TV networks. And despite the behind-the-scenes civil war, the two managed to ace their interviews with top telly execs. Eventually the show landed on Max meanwhile Tyson was forced out of the fight against Jake due to a health precaution. They eventually fought in November with Jake winning on points and over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix. The warring brothers quickly reconciled – making it just another chaotic day in the Paul household.
