In April, Logan’s brother, Jake, stopped by Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” where he told host Jesse Waters that he had extended an invitation to his fight against Mike Tyson to the former president.
“Trump, if you’re watching this, it’s an invitation. I know you were selling Tyson, so I’d love to have you in the fight,” Paul said. “Donny, come on, we’ve got tickets for you. “
According to Wired, an anonymous user of the Trump crusade responded to the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s offer, saying that the former president is “seriously considering” attending the event.
Trump has appeared in UFC fights in recent years. His outings at UFC events have generated millions of views on multiple occasions.
In April 2023 he arrived in Miami and sat next to Tyson. Then in November, Trump walked out of a UFC event with an entourage that included musician Kid Rock.

Earlier this month and just two days after his felony conviction in New York, Trump crossed the Hudson River to Newark, New Jersey, and earned a raucous welcome from some 18,000 enthusiasts inside the Prudential Center for UFC 302.
Trump took advantage of the occasion to publish his TikTok account. UFC president Dana White was next to Trump in the release video.
But enthusiasts will have to wait a little longer to see younger brother Paul take on Tyson, as the upcoming fight has been suspended.

The boxing fight was originally scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas, but Tyson has recently experienced physical complications that forced it to be postponed.
Despite the delay, Jake maintains that he will be in a position to pass as long as the fight takes place.
“I’m in a position like you. It’s too big an opportunity. This fight is going to replace the world,” Paul said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on May 31.
