The retired 50-0 boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will meet the YouTuber Logan Paul in a bizarre exhibition bout at some point this year.
However, the fight was supposed to take place on February 20, 2021, but got canceled due to a lack of interest from Logan’s side. “But yeah, we’re figuring it out now. There were some complications with – actually, I don’t know how much I can say,” Logan said about the postponement of the fight
While organizers are currently looking for a new date, Logan never forgets to remind Mayweather about the fight.
Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul, won a fight against Ben Askren last night. The YouTuber filmed a moment in last night’s match and sent it to Mayweather in an apparent warning. “@floydmayweather, you see this,” Logan wrote on his Twitter. It seems Paul is sending out a message that he might knock out the Money in their upcoming battle.

Possible date for Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight
There has been a rumor that the fight may not take place, but Paul denied that. “The fight’s still happening [but] we want to have a packed arena somewhere and then the business side of things, we have to iron them out,” Logan stated.

However, the organizers did not find any venue yet, which is delaying the bout. Logan wants the fight to take place in a packed arena. If this is the case, Organizer will have to wait until the COVID-19 surge rate is reduced. According to The Sun, “a date of later this year is feasible.”
Nevertheless, some US states such as Texas and Florida are already allowing the sports venues to host events at full capacity. Hence, selecting a venue from those states will certainly help the organizers to fix a date.
