Although Logan Paul has yet to win a professional boxing match, he does have an extensive background in wrestling. He also understands that he would not stand a chance against Fury in a boxing match. However, in a cage with MMA rules, Paul believes he could take down the heavyweight champion and submit him.
YouTube personality-turned-boxer Logan Paul has issued a challenge to the heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.
In a recent interview with BT Sport, Paul proposed that the two face off in a professional mixed martial arts bout, and he expressed confidence in his abilities as a wrestler and grappler.
“You know what I would do because I saw Tyson talking s***?” he asked host Ariel Helwani. “I would fight Tyson in a MMA fight.”
“I really would, I don’t really care how big he is if you have not wrestled or done any ground work I don’t care how big you are, you better land the first two punches that you throw and they better knock me out.”
Fury has previously expressed interest in competing in a hybrid-rules boxing/MMA event a while back. He has trained with former UFC welterweight Darren Till in the past and has even entertained the idea of competing against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
As the elder Paul brother is already in business with the UFC through his sports drink, he has expressed his interest in competing in the octagon.
However, his conversations with UFC boss Dana White have not progressed, and he admits that becoming a triple-champion in boxing, wrestling, and MMA would be a difficult feat to accomplish.
