Floyd Mayweather will take on Logan Paul in a rearranged exhibition boxing bout in Florida this weekend.
Former five-weight world champion Mayweather, who ended his professional career in August 2017 with a record of 50-0, is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all-time.
He will fight Youtuber Paul at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens with ring walks for the main event expected around 4am UK time in the early hours of Monday morning (June 7).
The pair were originally slated to face off in February but that event was postponed.
Announcing the rescheduled fight back in April, Mayweather, 44, wrote: “JUNE 6, 2021!!!! #MIAMI Me and Logan Paul will be fighting at the Hard Rock Stadium. @mayweatherpromotions @fanmio and @showtimeboxing have come together to bring an epic Event!!!”
While Paul, 26, lost his only professional fight against fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019, the American has a significant social media profile and the bout against Mayweather is likely to be lucrative for both combatants.
Paul wrote on Twitter: “full transparency my mom is terrified”.
The fight will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Mayweather is widely expected to ease to victory and the boxer clearly does not expect to face much of a test from his opponent.
At a pre-fight press event, Mayweather revealed that while he has taken part in some training for the bout, it has not been rigorous.
“I didn’t have no camp. I just went to the gym every once in a while to shake out every once in a while. You know, spar every once in a while,” he told Boxing Social.
