Logan Paul issues apology for 'stupid' mistake he made immediately after brother Jake's win over Mike Tyson
Logan Paul has apologised for a "stupid" mistake he made after younger brother Jake beat Mike Tyson on Friday night.
Paul defeated the returning heavyweight legend in an eight-round affair in front of 70,000 fans at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, courtesy of an 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 unanimous decision victory on the judges' scorecards.
The Problem Child showed a tremendous amount of respect to Tyson at the end of the bout, though WWE superstar Logan said, "Motherf***** I'll kill you Mike!" when the 58-year-old suggested he would fight the older Paul brother.

Logan was in the ring with his sibling when the decision was announced and he celebrated an 11th professional victory in front of 60 million people on Netflix.
But he was widely criticised and accused of upstaging his brother's big moment. The 29-year-old sprayed Jake's W bodyspray product but inadvertently knocked his hat off while Tyson extended his hand out.
A few days on and Paul has apologised to his brother for "ruining" such a pivotal moment in his career.
"A lot of people asking about this moment from the fight," Paul said.
They're saying 'why did you knock your brother's hat off? What were you spraying in that yellow can? Did you try to steal his moment?' No!
"Guys I was just trying to help Jake promote his [bodyspray] and my motor skills got the best of me.
"I knocked his hat off. It went to the floor. I felt so stupid.
"Jake, I'm sorry I ruined one of the biggest moments of your life. But guess what buddy? You smelled [smelt] great."
Although the W bodyspray was allowed plenty of promotion time, Paul's Prime hydration drink was not afforded the same privilege.
He took to Instagram to write: "They told me I couldn't bring Prime into the stadium or they would forcibly remove me so this will have to do."
