YouTuber Logan Paul will be in a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jnr who is arguably one of the best boxers the world has ever seen.

Logan Paul believes he could cause one of the greatest upsets in Boxing history by defeating Floyd Mayweather Jnr and that his size will play advantage in the bout.
“I’m 30 lbs heavier, half his age, a foot taller and I work my ass off so I don’t know, anything could happen,” he said on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
“My whole life has been overcoming challenges, exceeding expectations, surprising people and doing what ‘could not be done and this doesn’t feel any different to me.
“I’ve never been intimidated by Floyd or anyone, so I think I stand a chance – you’d be lying if you said it was impossible, he’s human, it’s a fight and anything can happen.”
He added: “People ask the question ‘why would I fight Floyd Mayweather?’ It’s because my kids’ kids will talk about this.
“Generations to come will talk about this moment in history and when I accepted this fight I understood the magnitude of what a special event this was.
“You don’t turn down an opportunity to fight a specimen like Floyd Mayweather, the greatest fighter of our generation.
“I’m battling myself in my whole boxing journey, I’m trying to achieve that next level within.
“I’ve always been my own worst enemy. I am constantly battling this, the discipline of boxing pushing yourself both mentally and physically which has been a journey of mine for the past three years is crafting a person that I love.”
