Boxing Rumors: Logan Paul Looking Beyond Floyd Mayweather, Targets Chris Hemsworth Next

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will return to the boxing ring on Feb. 20 as he tangles with internet sensation Logan Paul.

Most see it as a humongous mismatch although others feel that the 25-year-old could even the odds with his size and weight advantage over the “Flamboyant One.”

But then again, Mayweather is unlikely to be worried about that. The 43-year-old carefully maps out who he faces in the ring, meaning it is not purely about money.

Mayweather has a master plan against Paul, and most of it will be executed with his ring savvy and plan of attack.

One person who believes that Paul’s advantage in size and weight will not be a problem is Fanmio CEO Solomon Engel. He bared in a report from Boxingscene that Mayweather had zero concerns about the physical leverage of the YouTuber.

Engel went on to explain that Paul was the first real opponent that they opted to explore. Fanmio is financially backing the entire event and is confident that the exhibition bout will break pay-per-view records.

Moreover, he reveals that early sales for the event have been strong.

Mayweather has hardly been active as of late, likely focusing on preparing for Paul. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the latter as he had time to ridicule his opponent when he put up a post on Instagram.

He and his brother Jake continue their social media rant, and the YouTuber seems to be looking beyond Mayweather.

Paul caught the workout of actor Chris Hemsworth and wasted no time aiming in calling him out.

“I’ll fight him after Mayweather,” Paul posted on Twitter after reposting the video training footage showing Hemsworth working out in a gym.

While it would not hurt to plan, Paul needs to get his act together and focus more on preparing for “Money.”

Though he stands to earn big, there is no denying that he could end up getting seriously hurt when he enters the ring.

Mayweather appears to be taking the fight seriously, and most know how the 43-year-old can go for a knockout if he finds the opening–even if he is bigger and heavier than the future boxing Hall of Famer.
