This fight already became the talk of the town since it got announced. This was because the best ever boxer of this century, ‘Money’ Mayweather was making a return. He last stepped in an exhibition fight in 2018, against kickboxing star, Tenshin Nasukawa and dispatched him in just one round.

His bout with Paul was set to be even more electrifying considering the duo’s magnetic profile.

Even though the YouTuber, Paul, is yet to score his first professional win in boxing, he has a considerable amount of fame and glory under his wings. Hence, this fight was set to eclipse Mayweather’s last exhibition outing.

Now, with this contest getting rescheduled, Paul’s greatest test to date seems in jeopardy.
