Although ‘Pretty Boy’ hung up his gloves from the sport in 2017, he has never really let boxing vanquish out of his life. Mayweather last took up an exhibition bout in 2018 on new year’s eve. Here, he confronted Tenshin Nasukawa and dispatched him with his sheer brilliance. Even today, Mayweather continues putting in the hard work in the gym and looks for ways to inspire the younger generation.
That said, he saw a cosmic opportunity in battling out the stout YouTuber, Logan Paul, so as to make a prolific statement in the fighting world again.
There’s a vast difference in both Mayweather’s and Paul’s weight classes, but the former is well known for taking up stern challenges in his career and proving his mettle. Consequently, he will look forward to employing his experience against the lanky Logan Paul in this terrifying encounter.
