In a hilarious case of mistaken identity, Logan Paul found himself at the center of an amusing mix-up when he was congratulated for his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson, despite it being his brother, Jake Paul, who is set to enter the ring with the boxing icon.
The anticipation for the exhibition match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas, has been steadily growing. However, it seems that not everyone is clear on which Paul brother will be squaring off against the legendary Tyson.
During a recent encounter captured on social media by Happy Punch, popular Twitch streamer IShowSpeed was seen embracing Logan Paul before extending congratulations for the upcoming fight against Tyson. Logan appeared puzzled by the congratulatory message, highlighting the amusing confusion surrounding the situation.

While the Paul brothers may bear a resemblance to each other, with Speed known for his penchant for trolling, it's possible that he was simply winding Logan up, leading to the entertaining mix-up that has left many scratching their heads.
Adding to the controversy surrounding the Tyson fight, Logan Paul claimed on his podcast that he was initially offered the opportunity to fight Tyson before the bout was ultimately offered to Jake. However, Jake Paul refuted his brother's claim during a livestream with Adin Ross, stating that no such offer was made directly by Tyson and that the deal was struck with Netflix through Most Valuable Promotions and his partner Nikisa.
"I don't know why he would say that," remarked Jake, addressing Logan's assertion. "Mike Tyson wasn't offering people deals, so I don't know what he's talking about."
The mix-up and ensuing banter between the Paul brothers add an extra layer of intrigue to the already highly anticipated match-up between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. With the fight drawing closer, fans eagerly await the spectacle that is sure to unfold in the ring on July 20.
