Logan Paul shuts down slap fight opponent\u2019s claims that viral video was faked Logan Paul, Twitter \/ YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul is no stranger to insane stunts and dangerous challenges, which saw him sign up for Generation Iron\u2019s Battle on the Volga in late April \u2013 a competition between some of Russia\u2019s greatest slap champions, including the 370 pound \u201cDumpling.\u201d However, Paul pulled out of the competition at the last minute, thanks to a now-viral video that the YouTuber posted to Twitter a month later. In the video, Paul can be seen slapping a man unconscious, which he later claimed was the reason he\u2019d bowed out of the slap-battle \u2013 but fans were quick to call the video faked. Fans aren\u2019t the only ones accusing Paul of faking the video, either; in fact, the opponent in the video, professional slapper \u201cSlap for Cash,\u201d has come forward to echo these accusations, even challenging Paul to a bout in the boxing ring after claiming the YouTuber made him \u201clook bad.\u201d \u201cWhat man falls frontwards after getting hit?\u201d Slap for Cash asked in an Instagram video on June 20. \u201cI was okay with helping him get out of the recent Russian slap contest. I was alright with even falling on the ground. I\u2019m not alright with how they reacted. You tried to make me look bad? Let\u2019s go in the boxing ring and see what happens.\u201d Paul promptly responded to Slap for Cash\u2019s video in a series of Tweets, claiming that his allegations \u201cboiled his blood\u201d and that he didn\u2019t feel bad for slapping him due to the \u201cviolent content\u201d Slap for Cash promotes. \u201cRick, you fucking moron,\u201d Paul began.\u201d\u2026I promise this will not end well for you. I am disgusted that you would do this after everything that I\u2019ve been through. You trying to perpetuate a lie and \u2018expose\u2019 me and my credibility.\u201d Dear guy who i knocked out (part 1): pic.twitter.com\/GcWEBoYdXd \u2014 Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) June 20, 2019 Logan even threatened to make a \u201cfull-on mini documentary\u201d about his feud with Slap for Cash, featuring an \u201chour\u2019s worth\u201d of unreleased audio of the slapper being \u201ccompletely disoriented\u201d after being knocked out.
