Amir Tyson wants to fight a YouTuber in a boxing match

Mike Tyson's son seems to want a slice of the buzz that celebrity boxing has been making of late.

The legendary boxer revealed on his podcast to co-host Henry Cejudo and the guest of the day, boxing champion David Benavidez, that Amir Tyson is keen to fight Logan or Jake Paul.

But 'Iron' Mike does not want him to and instead hopes Amir gets a 'real estate license' and settles for something stable.

"I have my kid, the oldest one, he’s 24. He wants to do this so bad. I said ‘Man, just chill the f**k out.’ He wants to fight Logan Paul and those guys. He wants to do that. I said, ‘Man, just got a job. Get a real estate license. Just chill out man. Why can’t you take advantage of your lightweight wealthiness? Just chill. You don’t want none of that heat. I’m telling you. This drives people to commit suicide, getting humiliated in front of millions of people. You gotta be able to take that pressure and heat.' Not many people can do it. It seems like a lot of people, but the people doing it is such a small percent. It’s probably one percent," Mike Tyson said.
