LOGAN PAUL branded Floyd Mayweather a ‘grandad’ ahead of their exhibition fight and said: ‘I’m nervous for him’.
The YouTuber faces Mayweather on June 6 in Miami and has wasted no time in kicking off the trash talking.
Paul, 26, is armed with a FOUR STONE weight and six inch height advantage and is also 18 years younger than his iconic opponent.
But Mayweather, 44, is considered the greatest of a generation and was famously never beaten, retiring in 2017 at 50-0.
Nevertheless, Paul was quick to poke fun at Mayweather’s status as a grandparent, after his daughter gave birth to a baby boy January.
And he warned should he somehow pull off the mother of all miracles, the American great’s reputation will forever be tarnished.
He told Sky Sports: “This fight means so much to my fans, to my family, to everyone watching who thought they couldn’t do something in life.
“That’s the energy I’m going in with. I have nothing to lose. Literally, I have nothing to lose.
“So when you have a guy coming into the ring with that energy? And a guy who has everything to lose?
“As a grandad? I’m nervous for him!”

Paul has only twice boxed before, both against online rival KSI, the first of which was a 2018 white collar bout which ended in a draw.
The American celebrity lost the second by a scrappy split-decision meaning he takes a losing record into the already mounting challenge.
Mayweather – who Logan’s brother Jake predicts will underestimate his sibling – reminded the social media sensation of his true profession.
He said: “He has a huge following. Big guy, strong guy.
“This is fun, it’s entertaining. It’s all about entertainment. On social media, he entertains the people.”
