Logan Paul believes Mike Tyson made a big mistake by slapping his brother.
On Thursday evening, the boxing legend and Jake Paul came together for a final face-off ahead of their controversial professional heavyweight clash at AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15.
As the pair went nose-to-nose, ‘Iron Mike’ let rip with an almighty slap that connected with his opponent’s jaw and prompted several security guards to separate the two men.
It quickly became clear that Mike Tyson was unhappy as his foot had accidentally been stepped on when his rival got a little too close for comfort.
Logan Paul reacts to Mike Tyson slapping his brother
In the immediate aftermath of Jake Paul taking his first hit from the former undisputed heavyweight champion, his YouTuber-turned-WWE star brother reacted on social media.
Logan Paul, who has boxed ring legend Floyd Mayweather, believes Tyson made a massive error by attacking his little brother and making their fight personal.
“My brother got slapped by Mike Tyson, f****** iconic,” he tweeted.
“But a grave error This fight just became personal for Jake Tomorrow’s outcome will be utter devastation for Mike; the new face of boxing will be crowned tomorrow.”
‘The Problem Child’ issued an angry response moments after being slapped by Tyson, who he claimed ‘must die’ for taking their rivalry to the next level.
“I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf,” Jake Paul said.
“Mike Tyson, that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m f****** him up, I’m f****** him up! He hits like a b***.
“It’s personal now, it’s personal now! He must die!”
Mike Tyson explains why he slapped Jake Paul
Tyson opted against wearing shoes for his face-off with Paul.
It’s essentially what caused the scuffle as his toe got trodden on accidentally, but the 58-year-old felt he had to retaliate just in case it was intentional.
Tyson said: “I was in my socks, and he had on shoes.
“He stepped on my toe because he’s a f****** a******. I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose.
“I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate.”
Tyson can get proper revenge in just a few hours when he finally fights Paul.
They were originally supposed box in July, but Tyson suffered a mid-air medical and ‘almost died’ before Paul ended up facing UFC veteran Mike Perry instead.
Five months later, Paul vs Tyson is now just a few hours away.
