Floyd Mayweather will dust off his boxing gloves soon, as he will take on the YouTuber boxer Logan Paul in a special exhibition fight on February 20, 2021, at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.  Following a fight against Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018, Mayweather will end a hiatus of over two years.

However, the unbeaten world champion doesn’t seem worried about the fight or losing his legacy against an Internet celebrity. Mayweather will clearly be the favorite against Logan Paul. However, boxing is an unpredictable sport and a minute mistake can see a massive upset happen inside the ring.

That said, Logan Paul has the chance to do what no other boxers could do, i.e., beat Floyd Mayweather. ‘The Maverick’ is also training hard, and his social media posts reflect the type of effort he is putting in for the upcoming fight.
