Mayweather announces exhibition bout vs. Logan Paul
Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced plans on Sunday for an exhibition bout against Logan Paul.
The fight is slated to take place on Feb. 20, with a venue not yet announced.
The two have been rumored to be working out fight details for a while, with Mayweather publicly calling out Paul - as well as his brother, Jake - in November:
These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.

Jake Paul is coming off a vicious knockout victory against former NBA guard Nate Robinson on the card headlined by the exhibition match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. late last month.
Logan, meanwhile, is 0-1 in his professional career, debuting in November 2019 with a split-decision loss to YouTuber "KSI."
Mayweather's professional record is 50-0 with 27 career knockouts.
Shortly after hearing the news, lightweight and super featherweight titleholder Gervonta Davis expressed his desire to fight on the undercard:
