YouTube personality, Logan Paul and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. have long been rumored to face off with each other in an exhibition boxing match. Paul challenged his potential opponent in November 2019, but he and Mayweather did not immediately reach an agreement.

The boxer with a 50-0 record revealed the news Saturday with posts across his social media platforms. He confirmed that the exhibition match would take place on Feb. 20, 2021, and that the pay-per-view event would start at $24.99. He said that there would be more information provided in the future.

I like Logan and all, but have you seen Mayweather box? He’s not a knockout fighter. He’s a dodge and weaver, some say his fight style is boring, but he’s a winner. 51-0 if you count his wife.
