Logan Paul dares his younger brother Jake for a fight amid Mike Tyson's health issue
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Logan Paul has made an interesting offer to his brother Jake Paul. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was supposed to fight icon Mike Tyson on July 20, but it was postponed due to the latter suffering from a medical emergency recently.
Now, Logan has created a buzz online with his latest tweet, "So Mike Tyson's out? I'll step in and we can settle this once and for all."
Jake responded with, "Mom doesn’t want me to KO you but f*** it. Loser has to change their last name."
Other boxers willing to replace Mike Tyson for Jake Paul's fight
Meanwhile, UFC star Chael Sonnen claimed he’s going to replace Tyson. Besides, boxer Ryan Garcia also said he would "sub in" to fight Jake, if asked.
Garcia is, however, under fire after being involved in a drugs scandal for a positive test taken after his win over Devin Haney which could now be overturned, according to The Sun.

Interestingly, super-middleweight champion Sakio Bika has also thrown his name for the clash with Jake. "If Jake Paul is serious about fighting a former champion, look for someone a lot younger or active within the last decade. I can fight Jake Paul at any weight he wants," he said.
Mike Tyson's health scare
MEAWW previously reported that the former world heavyweight champion was flying from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday evening, May 26, when he felt ‘dizzy.’
As per InTouch Weekly, the announcement was made over the tannoy system, asking if there was a doctor on board. The flight was just 30 minutes away from reaching the destination when the 57-year-old needed medical attention.
"Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded. Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens,” an eyewitness told the outlet.
The source continued, "There was a lot of buzz when he left the Admirals Club and got to the gate. A lot of fans recognized him, and a few people got pictures. He was very accommodating and then he was escorted away from the gate because the flight was delayed because the gate person said that the plane was too hot because it had been sitting all day and had to cool down."
