We can’t even blame this on 2020, because it’s actually believable.
Popular YouTuber and occasional boxer Logan Paul seems to be close to having an exhibition match with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. Nearly a year after Paul challenged Mayweather to a fight, the boxing legend is said to have accepted the challenge.
YouTube personality Keemstar was the first to break the news:
“Mayweather vs Logan Paul this year! No joke… that’s boxing insider just told me,” Keem posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
To back up the claim, he shared a video from Mike Feinberg of The Fighting News. In the video, Feinberg mentioned that Mayweather is returning from retirement and has officially signed the contract.
“I’ve got some breaking news for you. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is coming out of retirement and has just officially signed a contract to fight in an exhibition match against Logan Paul — YouTube sensation Logan Paul,” Feinberg stated. “I don’t understand the fight. Logan Paul has tried his hand at professional boxing — couldn’t beat the other nobody [that] nobody’s ever heard of before.
“[Paul’s] now 0-1. He’s going to be fighting one of the best in Floyd Mayweather. It’s going to be a joke of a fight, but it’s signed. It’s official. I heard it from a reputable source today and even saw the signed picture of the signed contract where Floyd signed on the dotted line for this exhibition match.”
Paul began his boxing journey when he fought British YouTuber Olajide Olatunji and not only lost that match but also the rematch in November 2019.
