Mike Tyson opposes son's desire to box Logan Paul

Mike Tyson isn't keen on his son entering the boxing world.

The former world heavyweight champion revealed on a recent episode of the "Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson" podcast that his oldest son, Amir, has expressed interest in boxing and wants to fight YouTuber Logan Paul. However, Tyson would rather see his son go down a different career path.

"The oldest one, he's 24, he wants to do this so bad ... he wants to fight Logan Paul and those guys," Tyson said. "He wants to do that, but I said, 'Just get a job. Get your 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, man, 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, man. It seems like a lot of people, but the people doing it is such a small percentage. It's probably 1%, if that."

Paul called out the elder Tyson in June, claiming he could beat the boxing great because "he's old."
