Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather returned to the squared circle Sunday night for an exhibition bout with YouTube sensation Logan Paul.

Mayweather, who is now 44-years-old, has not competed professionally since improving his overall record to 50-0 with a TKO victory over Conor McGregor in 2017. With that said, ‘Money’ most previously saw his hand raised in an exhibition bout with RIZIN star Tenshin Nasukawa on New Years Eve in 2018, earning a first round TKO.

Meanwhile, Logan Paul (0-1) had only fought once as a professional prior to tonight’s exhibition bout, where he dropped a split decision to KSI in November 2019. Although he lacked experience, the YouTuber sported a thirty-four pound weight advantage over ‘Money’ this evening.
