The YouTuber, Logan Paul, seems all set to go up against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather in their upcoming exhibition bout on June 6. Despite having no win on his professional resume, ‘The Maverick’, who has vowed to knock out Mayweather, doesn’t appear to have lacked confidence.

As he will have some serious advantages in weight, height, and reach, Logan Paul will relish his chances in the fight. However, Mayweather has always been victorious in his career. 50 professional elites have tried to beat him and all of them have failed.

Hence, Paul might not stand a chance, but his recent training videos don’t cite the same. The 26-year-old filmed himself hitting a punching bag at the gym and broke it with his hard shots. But that’s not all. ‘The Maverick’ further sent a message to Floyd Mayweather.
