But the controversial clash – scrutinized over their age difference – was postponed after Iron Mike suffered a health scare.
The fight was postponed until November 15th – but Logan seriously considered saving the day to face his younger brother.
And the idea was even pitched to Netflix when the social media sensation revealed the crazy idea to former US President Donald Trump in his podcast.
Logan said: “I was willing to replace Mike Tyson when Tyson got sick and had to postpone his fight. In fact, we extended the chain at Netflix.”
Trump, a former boxing promoter, responded: “It’s hard for brothers to fight.”
But Logan Paul added: “Not for Netflix. Not for a big old bag.
“Me and Jake decided this, obviously we both come from a place of love.
“And whatever the outcome, we would have to accept that. But obviously I love my brother.”

Tyson, 57, was forced to withdraw after suffering an ulcer outbreak while boarding a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
Doctors advised him to stop training and rest before the rescheduled date was announced.
Logan, 29, and his brother Jake, 27, started boxing at the same time but have since had separate careers.
Jake is now 9-1 and has world title aspirations, with his only loss coming to Tyson Fury’s 25-year-old brother Tommy.
Meanwhile, Logan boxed in exhibitions, including against American icon Floyd Mayweather, 47, who went far.
His last fight was a disqualification victory over 30-year-old MMA star Dillon Danis, but he has not returned to boxing since.
Instead, he’s focusing on WWE, where he reigns as United States Champion.
