On July 17, Tom Brady slapped Logan Paul across the face during an onstage appearance at Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York City. Brady reached around New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns before making contact. Towns quickly stepped in to separate the two as they continued exchanging words.
Thirteen days later, on July 30, Logan Paul shared backstage footage from the incident on his YouTube channel. The video was titled, “See you in court, Tom.”
Thanks for the submission!
At one point in the video, Paul could be heard reacting to the fight.

After the incident on July 17, Paul claimed Brady slapped him because he had been making fun of the former NFL quarterback for losing to Paul’s team in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic earlier this year.
“This happened bc I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids. Aura -100 +Blocked. With a torn tricep,” Paul wrote on X on July 18.
Brady later responded on X, writing,
“I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd.”
Two days after the slap, Brady and Paul were seen sitting in nearby luxury suites at another event. A video showed Brady looking toward Paul and making an obscene hand gesture.
Paul responded with the same gesture and shouted, “You shouldn’t even be here!” Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin stepped in to calm the situation.
The rivalry began in February when Brady appeared on Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. During the episode, Brady said WWE athleticism was “cute” compared to the NFL and suggested Paul was not on the same level as top NFL players.
Paul disagreed, saying his WWE background made him capable of competing with professional football players.
The feud continued in March when Brady and Paul played against each other in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
The two exchanged trash talk throughout the event, and Brady threw a football at Paul after a play had already been blown dead. Paul’s team went on to beat Brady’s team.
