Paul’s chances of landing a meaningful punch – let alone beating the former five-weight world champion – have been written off by many.
But The Maverick is adamant he will pull off the biggest upset in boxing history.
Alongside a gripping trailer promoting the fight, he wrote on Instagram: “Today, I beat Floyd Mayweather.
“Watch me make history on @showtime & @fanmio, 8pm ET.”
Paul, 26, is 0-1 in his professional boxing career having suffered a split decision defeat to fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019.
But he’s brimming with confidence ahead of his clash with the greatest boxer of the modern era.

🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?
He said: “I’m going to knock him out and become the greatest boxer on the planet.
“Then I’m going to retire and not give Floyd the rematch. He doesn’t know who he’s getting in the ring with.
“He really thinks I’m a YouTuber. He really thinks I’m a fake fighter. I get it.
“Everything that I’ve portrayed online says the same thing. But we’re really about this life now.
“Floyd underestimating me is going to hurt him, I think.
“If you think about it, this truly is one of the most special, historic events ever.
“You have one of the greatest boxers of our generation, fighting, uh, me.”
Paul weighed in over two stone heavier than the 44-year-old Mayweather on Friday and reckons his weight and height advantages will guide him to victory.
He said: “I’m not going in there at 155 lbs. I’m not going in there with the fight meaning the entire world to me.
“I have nothing to lose. This whole thing is going to be fun for me. I’m going to play with Floyd, gonna dog him and hit him hard.
“I’m going to break him down physically, mentally, everything.
“I don’t like comparing myself to other guys. As great as they might be, I’m not them.”
Mayweather was unable to knock out Paul in Miami, meaning no official winner was declared.
