FLOYD MAYWEATHER will return to the ring on February 20 next year to face YouTube superstar Logan Paul.
Retired boxing icon Mayweather, 43, confirmed the news on his social media pages.
The undefeated five-weight world champion also revealed that tickets are already on sale for the bout.
Despite Paul, 25, turning pro this bout will be an exhibition – and one that will likely rake in MILLIONS for the pair.
Mayweather wrote on Instagram: “Super Exhibition Feb. 20, 2021 !!!!
Early Bird Special On Sale NOW!!!! More Details Soon.”
The announcement come fresh off of last week’s news that Logan’s brother, Jake, was a huge part of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr exhibition bringing in more than 1.2million pay-per-view buys.
According to FITE TV CEO Mike Weber, Jake Paul was responsible for around “40 per cent” of those buys.
Logan is considered a bigger star than Jake and boasts almost double the amount of social media followers.
His rematch with KSI – his pro boxing debut that ended in defeat – attracted around 1.2million PPV sales.
