Floyd Mayweather, undefeated former world champion, is
billed to take on Logan Paul, an American Youtuber turned amateur boxer, in an
exhibition match on June 6.
The match, which was postponed from its initial date in
February, is set to take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Mayweather broke the news on his verified Instagram page on
Tuesday.
“Mayweather Promotions, Fanmio and Showtime Boxing have come
together to bring an epic event,” the post read.
The five-weight division world champion last fought
professionally in August 2017, when he knocked out Conor McGregor, the Ultimate
Fighting Championship (UFC) star, in the 10th round.
Conversely, Paul, who has nearly 23m subscribers on YouTube,
has only one fight under his belt, a split-decision loss to Olajide Olayinka
Williams, aka KSI and a fellow YouTuber, in November 2019.
According to Fanmio, a platform that connects fans with
celebrities through online experiences, additional details on the rules of the
fight and the undercard will be released soon.
