Logan Paul believes Mike Tyson has made a "grave error" by slapping his brother Jake during Thursday night's heated ceremonial weigh-in.

It is expected to be one of the most watched events in boxing history. Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, will take on former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a heavyweight bout over eight two-minute rounds.

The event, which is being hosted at the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Texas, will be available to stream live globally on Netflix at no additional cost to subscribers.

Ahead of fight night, a cool, calm and collected Tyson has been unusually quiet. Paul has tried to get in his head on multiple occasions, and even accused his opponent of being "f***** boring" in the build-up.

But after days of trash talk, Tyson appeared to snap after Paul stepped on his foot during the final staredown. You can see that moment from Thursday's weigh-in below.

Mike Tyson later explained why he "had to reciprocate" and slap Jake Paul across the face as the pair went face-to-face in a heated final staredown ahead of Friday's heavyweight bout.

"I was in my socks and he had on shoes. He stepped on my toe because he’s a f****** a******," Tyson said. "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."

When asked how it felt to be slapped by Tyson, Paul replied: "I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf."

He added: "Mike Tyson, that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m f*****g him up, I’m f*****g him up! He hits like a b***. It’s personal now, it’s personal now! He must die!"

Shortly after the incident, Jake's brother Logan Paul offered his two cents by suggesting that Tyson had just made the fight personal.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the WWE superstar wrote: "My brother got slapped by Mike Tyson, fucking iconic... 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."

Thoughts on Logan's prediction? Will his brother come out victorious? Let us know in the comments.
