Exhibition boxing matches are being scheduled thick and fast in 2021. A host of former boxing and MMA champions have come out of retirement to take on fellow veterans or social media stars in exhibition boxing matches. The most notable among these include Ben Askren vs Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul.
Another fight that almost took place was a bout between former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre and former six-division boxing world champion Oscar De La Hoya.
In a recent interview with Helen Yee, ‘The Soldier of God’ Yoel Romero gave his thoughts on the exhibition boxing matches that are taking place right now. He also teased an announcement of his own.

The UFC supremo was vehemently against ‘GSP’ fighting Oscar De La Hoya which is why the fight never materialized. It will be interesting to see if White changes his stance on the matter as time goes on.
