Mike Tyson Wants A WWE Match Against Logan Paul

Boxing legend/WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson did an interview with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes.com to talk about a wide range of topics including wanting to wrestle Logan Paul. Here are the highlights: 

Heels being the biggest draws: 

“I’m in the wrestling Hall of Fame,” Tyson proudly stated. “I loved wrestling all my life, the Valiant Brothers, Bruno Sammartino, that’s just who I was: the arrogant talker and the bad guy who people booed. That’s when I realized you can’t remember the good guy without the bad guy. That’s what makes the good guy famous, is the bad guy. The good guy is nothing without the bad guy, the bad guy is the biggest draw. That’s why Floyd Mayweather and myself were the biggest draws because we were the bad guys.”

“Hate is really close to love,” Tyson continued. “And just as much as you could love somebody, you could always have the opportunity to hate him. And just like you could hate somebody, he’ll always give you the opportunity to love him because of how he handles his adversity.”

“When I see him looking good and doing well, I always stick up for him because when he makes all the money himself, I get the credit, too. Because without me he would have never had a platform. I don’t think he’s really that serious [about a boxing match], but I’m just happy he’s receiving the success that the has. For my ego, I feel I had so much to do with that.”

Possible WWE match with Logan Paul:

“Have you ever seen me wrestle before?” joked Tyson before admitting he’d be interested in a WWE match against Paul. “I would do it! I would kick his [expletive] ass, yes I would do it. Even though I love him though (laughs). This is what I found out about WrestleMania: Everybody says ‘that’s fake, that’s fake. But the check is real. Deep down inside—don’t let [WWE] know—I would do this for free.”
