Logan Paul and Jake Paul have taken boxing by storm thanks to their social media fame and eccentric behavior. While Jake Paul claims he is in the sport for the long run, Logan Paul has made a surprising claim about his future.
The internet sensation will face boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather, on June 6. Many have criticized the event and accused both men of taking it only for the lucrative payday. And Paul’s latest comments will do little favors for ‘The Maverick.’
On his YouTube Channel, the 0-1 boxer spoke about his future. He said, “I’m about to send Floyd back to retirement. And then retire myself. And not give him the rematch.”

Also, fans who hoped that there would be a rematch, may be disappointed. However, this will be good news for the traditional boxing fans who have criticized the event.
Can Logan Paul live up to his claims?
The claims from Paul will draw backlash, given his limited experience in the ring. Moreover, as he has no plans of continuing, it all but confirms he is doing this solely for the money. So, can ‘The Maverick’ back up his claims and exit the sport on a high?
Unfortunately for Logan Paul, beating Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match is an almost impossible task. The legendary boxer has an unbeaten record, and several champions, who have tried, have failed. In addition, the former multi-weight pugilist, who has stayed in shape, will come into the fight with an added motivation after the drama surrounding the press conference.
