Showtime Boxing is back in a big way on Sunday evening with arguably its biggest star of the last two decades. Retired pound-for-pound king and one of the best of all time, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, will step back into the ring once more inside the Hard Rock Stadium as he takes on the most unique challenge of his career: a YouTuber.
That’s right, Mayweather will face off against social media star Logan Paul in the main event of a four-fight card on Showtime PPV from Miami Gardens, Florida. The former five-division champion will battle Paul in an eight-round exhibition, the second of that variety Mayweather has competed in in the last two years. He stopped kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa — a much smaller competitor than he is — on New Year’s Eve 2019 in Japan.
Paul is 0-1 as a professional fighter, losing to fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019. His younger brother Jake has become a big draw as a boxer.
