Five-time world champion Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring to face YouTube sensation turned-boxer Logan Paul at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on June 6 on Showtime PPV and Fanmio, it was announced on Tuesday night.
“Logan Paul and I are going to fight at Hard Rock Stadium. Mayweather Promotions, Fanmio and Showtime will team up to give you an epic event,” Mayweather wrote on Instagram.
The fight was originally scheduled for February but was postponed indefinitely until it was announced on Tuesday. Back in February it was billed as a “special exhibition.” Tuesday’s announcement didn’t specify how many rounds will they fight or what size of gloves will they use.
