Mike Tyson reveals fight date amid Jake and Logan Paul rumours and Tommy Fury agreement

Mike Tyson has confirmed he will return to the ring in February, amid speculation he could face off against either Jake or Logan Paul.

The two YouTubers have made waves in the ring, with Logan going the distance in an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather while Jake most recently overcame Tyron Woodley.

Jake is set to return to the ring before the end of the year, with an official announcement of his bout against Tommy Fury on December 18th in Miami expected imminently after the two camps agreed a date.

That fight comes after the pair have exchanged numerous jibes towards one another on social media, as well as clashing in the pre and post-fight press conferences for Paul's win against Woodley.

On the undercard that night, Fury was victorious on his stateside debut against Anthony Taylor in a bout that opened the doors for the Manchester fighter to get his own shot against Paul.

However, Paul's eyes may still be cast towards the future as speculation of a bout with Tyson has been present - although older brother Logan Paul is also heavily linked.

Now, adding more fuel to the fire, Tyson has confirmed that he will return to the ring in four months time.

"I am going to have a return fight in February and we are pretty sceptical about the opponent, but it will be a really stimulating opponent," he told the Sun.

55-year-old Tyson retired with a 50-6 record and established himself as the youngest ever boxer to win a heavyweight title at the age of just 20.

Tyson last fought professionally against Kevin McBride in 2005 and had an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.
