The best ever, Floyd Mayweather, will storm into the ring this year, not just once, but multiple times. His first fight this year will be against the YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul. Earlier the bout was scheduled for February 20 but got called off because of some uncertainties.

Despite there being no new dates for this fight yet, Mayweather has begun some light training in his new gym.

In a video released by FightHype, ‘Money’ is seen landing light punches on the heavy bags with slow speed to get himself into the supposed fight mindset.

In his new gym, Mayweather worked out alongside several others. Here, he showcased his glossy punching abilities by landing every punch with finesse.

The 43-year-old has expressed his interest for a long time to get in the ring. He found the cruiserweight sensation, Logan Paul, as an ideal opponent who can welcome him to the squared circle. Although the duo’s weight classes are far apart, it hasn’t seemed to have affected the 50-0 professional.

After his retirement in 2017, ‘Money’ competed in an exhibition bout a year later on new year’s eve. He fought Tenshin Nasukawa and dispatched the young gun in just 1 round.

Ever since then, the undefeated pugilist distanced himself from the ring. But, his love for the sport couldn’t keep him away for long.
