On June 6, Logan Paul will take up the ring space for the toughest boxing test of his career. The YouTube star will lock horns with the biggest boxer of all time, Floyd Mayweather, in an 8-round exhibition contest. Although this fight won’t add to either boxer’s professional resume, it still has a mammoth responsibility.

This fight was earlier set for February 20, but because of some uncertainties, it failed to materialize. Yet, both Mayweather and Paul assured their fans that they would proceed with this exhibition bout in the biggest possible manner.

That said, Paul is already eager to get inside the boxing ring against ‘TBE’ and beat him. But can he really beat Floyd Mayweather? And what if ‘The Maverick’ actually beats ‘Pretty Boy’ in this classic exhibition contest?
