Floyd Mayweather has competed against several combatants, putting himself against MMA fighters, kickboxers, and even WWE superstars. However, the undefeated pugilist has never faced a YouTuber, and Logan Paul will be the first from the community to have a crack at the five-division champion.

50-0 as a professional, Floyd Mayweather, who has enjoyed a Hall-Of-Fame-worthy career, has nothing more to prove. He is arguably the best boxer of all time. Hence, facing a YouTuber might not suit his legacy. However, Jeff Mayweather revealed why ‘Money May’ is taking the step.
