The keenly awaited matchup between the former five-division boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather, and YouTube personality, Logan Paul, appears to have met a lifeline and is close to being sealed officially. Although we are yet to receive the fight date, Mayweather has assured one and all that he will reschedule the event.

Initially, it was supposed to happen on February 20 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. However, it didn’t materialize, and the matchup fell off-charts. Adding to that, neither side spoke much about the event.

But Floyd Mayweather has returned to the headlines by revealing the possible host cities for his comeback fight. According to Michael Benson, the undefeated boxer is looking forward to hosting his comeback in either Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Dallas, or Atlanta. Hence, both the American big shots will possibly collide in their home country.
