Amir Khan launches furious tirade over Logan Paul’s comments on Mike Tyson

On November 16, 2024By Littum

British boxing legend Amir Khan has ripped into Logan Paul following his comments about Mike Tyson in the ring on Friday night.

Jake Paul claimed victory over the former world heavyweight champion at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

However, the fight was marred by the lack of spectacle, and it soon became clear that Tyson should never have returned to the ring at the age of 58.

Despite a fast start that might have fooled some into thinking this was really a contest, Iron Mike ran out of gas soon after as Paul made the most of his superior athleticism.

The 27-year-old stayed largely out of reach of Tyson, who landed just 18 punches throughout the contest, and went on to win on every judge’s scorecard.

But the veteran boxer hasn’t given up and even called Paul’s brother Logan into the ring.

“These guys are starting to make boxing a joke and it was a bad day for boxing.
