Logan Paul has stepped up to defend his brother Jake Paul after Mike Tyson shocked the boxing world by slapping Jake during their final weigh-in ahead of their highly anticipated fight. 

The incident, which quickly went viral, unfolded after both fighters stepped on the scales and faced off for the cameras. Logan, never one to hold back, called the slap a "grave error" and warned Tyson of the consequences awaiting him in the ring.  

"My brother got slapped by Mike Tyson, f**king iconic," Logan posted on X.com (formerly Twitter). "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 @jakepaul."  

The altercation reportedly began when Jake Paul, seemingly as part of his antics, stepped on the shoeless Tyson’s foot during their face-off.

This apparent lack of sportsmanship enraged the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, leading to the slap and a stream of expletives from Tyson. 

Security intervened, but the tension was palpable, setting the stage for an explosive match.  

Tyson, known for his legendary knockouts and a career that spanned from 1985 to 2005, has been celebrated for his unshakeable composure and intimidation tactics. 

However, his reaction during the weigh-in showcased the fiery aggression that made him a boxing icon.  

Jake Paul, undeterred, declared, "It's personal now. He must die," signaling that the clash would be more than just a sporting event. 

With Logan’s fiery defense and Tyson’s uncharacteristic outburst, the fight has taken on an electrifying intensity that fans can’t wait to witness.
