Logan Paul has been sued for disrespecting Mike Tyson.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion recently ended his 20-year retirement, going eight rounds with YouTuber boxer Jake Paul.
'Iron Mike' looked like a shadow of his former self as he suffered a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to a man who is 27 years old and more than thirty years his junior.
Despite everything, the 58-year-old suggested he would fight again in 2025 when he called up Logan Paul immediately after suffering defeat to the internet celebrity's brother.

Logan Paul accused of disrespecting the boxing community
Mike Tyson was polite when he suggested a fight with 'The Maverick'.
However, he was met with hostility from Logan Paul, who responded by aiming a deadly threat at the respected boxing legend.
“I'd kill you, Mike,” he said.
Former world boxing champion Amir Khan was one of 60 million people who tuned into Netflix to watch Tyson's comeback.
The man who fought Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford during his 40-fight career was left with a sour taste in his mouth after seeing the older brother treat Paul Tyson with such disdain.
“Would Logan Paul have said the same thing to Mike Tyson in his twenties? No, you wouldn't do that,” Khan told The Sports Daily. “So, how can you say that to a legend?
“Mike should be very happy that he made it to that fight. A 60 year old man. Mike Tyson is old, and you can't disrespect him. He still has a young heart and a young mind, but you can't really disrespect a champion like that.
“And I saw Logan Paul, man, ask, 'If you fight me, I'll knock you out,' and it's wrong to say that to a legend. If it was a street fight, I think it would be a different matter. Mike Tyson would eat him alive.
“These YouTubers are actually all a bunch of clowns. They're all just hype jobs. They either want to fight people well below their weight class, or they want to fight someone who is super old. Fight someone first, fight someone at your own weight.
“These are YouTubers who, just a few years ago, were dressing up in costumes. You can't say that to a champion like Mike Tyson because ultimately it disrespects the entire boxing community.”
Logan Paul to fight Conor McGregor?
Mike Tyson has seemingly retired for good since calling out Logan Paul.
The WWE star has now been heavily linked with a fight with UFC legend Conor McGregor, who recently revealed on social media that they will meet in an exhibition boxing fight, which will take place in India next year.
Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but Paul has done everything he can to fuel the rumors. The 29-year-old even used one of McGregor's famous quotes during a recent WWE press event.
Jake Paul has been chasing a fight with 'Notorious' for years. The 11-1 professional boxer responded to the news that his brother might meet his dream opponent by claiming he had also been approached about the bout.
“Now it all makes sense why Conor McGregor and his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate a fight between us,” Jake Paul wrote on X to his 4.7 million followers.
“As we told them privately and I'm saying it publicly now… The only way we are willing to explore me versus Conor in a professional boxing/MMA fight is if Dana White/UFC sits directly at the table or makes it clear that they are okay with discussions.
'Conor has been washed. Needs the Paul. Logan does it the way he wants.”
