Logan Paul has spoken out after fans claimed he tried to steal his brother Jake Paul's thunder after his win against Mike Tyson on Friday night.

Jake, 27, took on Iron Mike, 58, in an eight-round boxing match which was streamed for free on Netflix.

The pair went the distance in the match, with Jake - who is 31 years younger than his opponent - eventually being declared the winner by decision after a somewhat underwhelming fight.

As Jake was celebrating his win with his corner, fans noticed Logan waving a yellow can in the air before he knocked Jake's red baseball cap off his head.

He addressed the incident in a new video shared on Instagram, explaining: "A lot of people are asking about this moment from the fight. 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 W body spray, but my enthusiasm and my poor motor skills got the best of me."

The 29-year-old WWE star explained: "I knocked his hat off from the back and 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 great thanks to me … Sorry, Jake."


Logan then went on to plug the body spray, which he'd also been spraying on his brother as he made his entrance to the ring on the back of a car.

That wasn't the only time Logan too center stage on the night either, as Mike called him out to be his next boxing opponent.

When presented with the challenge, Logan looked incredulous as he responded: "Motherf**ker, I’d kill you, Mike."

The former world heavyweight champion then replied: "It’s on then."

Despite his defeat, Mike did not rule out a complete retirement from the sport, despite edging ever closer to his 60s.

The boxer said he would consider another return to the ring, revealing: "It depends on the situation."

Prior to the two facing off in the ring, Mike raised eyebrows around the world during a pre-fight interview in which his bare buttocks were streamed to over 60 million viewers.

The boxer was interviewed backstage by his son, Amir, as he prepared to step back in the ring.

Mike promised his son that he would bring home a "vicious win" and gave him a kiss on the cheek before he turned around and showed millions of people his bare butt cheeks.

See the moment below:

Jake appeared to be just as gobsmacked by what he saw as the viewers were, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer was filmed watching a screen backstage, before pointing at the television and repeatedly saying: "Bro, what the f**k?"

He was then seen walking away with a stunned expression on his face as he shook his head in disbelief.

The camera then cut to Logan who simply said: "Damn!"
