Report: Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul Fight Still On; Date to Be Determined

Adam WellsFeb 25, 2021

The exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Logan Paul that was originally scheduled for Feb. 20 is still going to take place at some point.

Per ESPN's Eric Woodyard, a new date for the spectacle "is coming soon."

After Mayweather called out Paul on Twitter in November, the undefeated boxing superstar announced the following month that a "super exhibition" bout with the controversial YouTuber was set for Feb. 20.

Fanmio founder and CEO Solomon Engel announced on Feb. 2 the bout had been postponed for unspecified reasons. 

"After an absolutely tremendous response to the fight announcement, we're hoping to announce a new date very soon along with some new exciting details," Engel said in a statement, via Woodyard.

In a Feb. 3 post on Instagram, Mayweather laid out his plans for multiple exhibition fights in 2021: 

"This year I will focus on several exhibitions. I will have an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan again. Of course the one with Logan Paul and I; and if Jake Paul can get past his next opponent Ben Askren, I will have an exhibition with him as well. I also heard that 50 cent would fight me but claims I'm too small. If he wants to lace up at the end of the year, we can do an exhibition then. I don't care about weight class with any of these guys. The Paul brothers will make great money with the events, but with 50 cent It has to be 'Winner Take All.'"

Paul is 0-1 in his professional boxing career. He lost his debut fight against fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019 by split decision. 

Mayweather hasn't fought in the ring since beating kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition on Dec. 31, 2018. The 44-year-old retired from professional competition after his win over Conor McGregor in August 2017 with a record of 50-0.
