Floyd Mayweather to Fight Logan Paul in February 2021

Mayweather advanced to 50–0 in his career in August 2017 with a TKO of Conor McGregor.

Floyd Mayweather retired in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor in a highly-anticipated bout, but it appears as though Mayweather is ready to step back into the ring.

Mayweather announced on Sunday he will fight YouTube personality Logan Paul in an exhibition in February 2021. Mayweather enters the fight with a decided experience edge, though Paul has experimented with briefs forays into the ring in 2016 and 2018. Paul most recently lost to rapper KSI in a split decision in 2018.
