WWE's Logan Paul Reacts to 'F--king Iconic' Mike Tyson-Jake Paul Slap in Viral Video

WWE Superstar and YouTube sensation Logan Paul commented Thursday night on Mike Tyson slapping Jake Paul across the face during the weigh-in for their blockbuster boxing match.

Logan called it a "f--king iconic" moment, but also warned Tyson that he made a big mistake by getting on his brother's bad side:

Jake got in Tyson's face at one point during the weigh-in, prompting Tyson to slap him. Jake seemed to indicate that he wasn't hurt by the slap as he and Tyson were separated by members of both of their teams:

It was initially unclear why Tyson slapped Paul, but Iron Mike told Michael Kaplan of the New York Post afterward that it was because Paul stepped on his foot, saying: "I was in my socks and he had on shoes. He stepped on my toe because he is a f--king a--hole. 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."

Friday's fight has been months in the making, as it was initially scheduled for July but had to be postponed due to Tyson dealing with an ulcer.

When Tyson steps inside the ring, it will be his first official professional fight since 2005, whereas Paul has fought 11 times since making his debut in 2020.

It is fair to wonder how the 58-year-old Tyson will fare against a much younger opponent in the 27-year-old Paul, but Tyson does look to be in excellent condition, and the former world heavyweight champion has a significant experience edge.

Although Paul is an impressive 10-1, most of his fights have been against former UFC fighters, and he has never fought someone with anywhere near the résumé of Tyson.

There was already a great deal of interest in Tyson vs. Paul since Tyson has been out of the game for so long, but the slap added what may have been some much-needed drama to the bout and their rivalry.

Fans across the world will have a chance to tune in and see Paul's response Friday night when Tyson vs. Paul emanates from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and streams live on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. ET.
