Logan Paul reveals jaw-dropping aftermath of viral slap video Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul was set to participate in a \u201cslap battle\u201d in late May, which would have pitted him against some of Russia\u2019s greatest slap champions \u2013 but he pulled out of the competition last minute, and now, he\u2019s spilling the beans as to exactly why he backed down. Paul uploaded a video to Twitter on May 22 that quickly went viral, showing him knocking an opponent unconscious with a single slap. While many critics accused Paul of faking the video, he argued that the entire ordeal was completely legitimate, later giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at what really went down the following month. Logan finally uploaded a video documenting his preparation for the slap battle on June 9, which included his consultation with Team Iron organizers and, of course, a Rocky-esque training montage (featuring Paul knocking the head off a ballistic dummy in a humorous show of strength). The film later jumped to Paul\u2019s meeting with professional slapper \u2018SlapforCash,\u2019 from whom Paul had hoped to receive coaching after delivering a test blow to the slapper\u2019s face \u2013 a blow that ended up knocking him out cold. Footage from the incident shows SlapforCash asking if Paul had actually slapped him after regaining consciousness, and what he\u2019d slapped him with, prompting a few confused looks from those assembled. The YouTuber later admitted to his team that he was afraid of what might happen should he end up flying to Russia the next day, with his editor comparing the possibility to his debacle in Japan\u2019s Aokigahara \u2018Suicide Forest\u2019 from 2018. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uMrzxuvZe8k&t=1sWhile Paul would later speak on this moment in a series of podcasts after the fact, his documentary on the battle shows the shocking aftermath of the slap, with Paul visibly seeming distressed at the damage he\u2019d dealt to the slapper. Logan also addressed his own brain damage in the video, which he\u2019d discussed in a previous upload in late February, admitting that his doctor wouldn\u2019t be happy with the slap competition but ultimately going forward with it (that is, until SlapforCash\u2019s KO came about). With the slap battle now defunct, Paul is set to face off against KSI in their November 2019 boxing rematch \u2013 although an exact date and venue have yet to be announced for the bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
