Floyd Mayweather will be making his much-anticipated return to boxing, albeit under circumstances not many had envisioned. Despite being linked with rematches against the likes of Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather will return in an exhibition bout. His opponent? None other than YouTube star and elder brother of Jake Paul, Logan Paul.
The match announcement came out of left-field and stunned the entire community of fans. While many have been wanting Floyd to return, they probably wanted a more legitimate return. But Floyd has a perfect 50-0 record as a boxer, no reason for him mess that up against Logan Paul.
Mayweather has addressed the return.
🗣️ Floyd Mayweather: “This is going to be a great night for fans worldwide as we are bringing something special to them. I have never shied away from doing things differently and fighting Logan Paul in this special exhibition is another opportunity for me to do it again.”
Logan Paul’s thoughts on the matchup have also been released. “I am always searching for the ultimate challenge and it is a dream to go toe-to-toe with the greatest boxer alive,” said Paul. “I am ALL IN, and on February 20th, the world could witness the greatest upset in the history of sports.”
Logan will have the size advantage over Floyd, but the skills aren’t nearly comparable. One lost to a British YouTuber, and the other is possibly the greatest boxer of all time.
Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul: Can the unthinkable happen? A matchup between these two would have qualified to be unthinkable 48 hours ago. However, here we are now and will see some fireworks go down in February 2021.
Considering how the deck has been stacked in favor of the larger and younger Paul, can he actually upset the great Floyd Mayweather?
