Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul sent shock waves through the boxing world by announcing an exhibition fight against each other. After the initial build-up, the event was touted to happen on February 20 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. However, Mayweather denied appearing on the scheduled date for some unknown reasons and the bout fell off the charts.

No one had an update on the fight until Mayweather opened up from his end regarding his upcoming future and fight plans. The five-division champion was on his way to a party when the media confronted him about the exhibition fight, and Mayweather appeared doubtful regarding its possibility.
