JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather's fight with YouTuber Logan Paul has been postponed. Having been set for February 20, this fight has been pushed back to a date that the two will confirm in the coming weeks.
"We're looking into it now. There are some complications with - actually, I don't know how much I can say", Paul told Night Shift Gaming quoted by MARCA, Wednesday, January 27.
"I would say that the complications come when you are dealing with someone like Floyd Mayweather.
"He is the most desirable highest-paid fighter on the planet and he operates at a certain caliber, and the people around him want to make sure their talent, their fighter performs at a certain level.
Paul added that there are many obstacles to overcome, there are many people involved and he only has one chance so he has to do it right.
"We're just making sure we do that. But yeah, I'm still going to beat Floyd Mayweather. Or maybe he'll beat me, who knows? The point is, it's still going to happen".
43-year-old Mayweather has not had a serious boxing match since fighting Andre Berto in 2015, the same year he fought Filipino champion Manny Pacquiao.
In 2017, Mayweather stopped mix martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, who had never boxed professionally before. That unbalanced bout saw Mayweather easily close his overall boxing streak to 50-0.
A year later, Mayweather staged another widely derided exhibition against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year's Eve which reportedly brought him $ 9 million in profit.
Meanwhile, Paul's only boxing match, 25, was against his YouTube rival, KSI, in November 2019.
