Football legend Tom Brady struck WWE star Logan Paul across the face during a staged confrontation at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday.
The incident occurred as the two men exchanged words during a stare-down on stage before being separated by New York Knicks player Karl-Anthony Towns.
The encounter appeared to be a scripted stunt rather than a genuine altercation.
Following the event, Paul claimed on social media that the slap came after he had mocked Brady over a flag football loss, calling the action a poor example for children.
Brady responded with a brief message suggesting he would repeat the act if they met again.
The two have a history of public friction, including an earlier incident this year when Brady threw a football at Paul during a separate appearance.
