Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather stunned the world when the 43 year-old announced he would be fighting 25 year-old YouTuber – Logan Paul.
The fight is scheduled to take place on February 20th 2021 and it will be a pay-per-view event.
The announcement has been met with a mixed reaction with most die-hard boxing fans thinking the exhibition is an insult to the sport.

UFC president and combat sport fan, Dana White, was just as baffled when he heard the announcement saying “”When people ask me what’s the state of boxing right now, that’s where it’s at.”
White went on to say: “”Didn’t that kid get beat up by the f*****g video game kid from England and now he’s going to fight Floyd Mayweather?”
Those willing to waste their money and watch the event will have to fork out at least $24.99 as part of the early pricing section.
The price will then jump up to $39.99 after 1 million has been sold. It will then jump to $59.99 from December 29 and those waiting until February 11th will have to fork out $69.99 to watch the fight.
