The return of Floyd “Money” Mayweather will have to wait — for now.
His much-anticipated exhibition bout originally set for Feb. 20 against YouTube personality Logan Paul has been postponed to a later date, according to Fanmio founder and CEO Solomon Engel.
“After an absolutely tremendous response to the fight announcement, we’re hoping to announce a new date very soon along with some new exciting details.” Engel said in a statement.
Fanmio — an online platform that connects fans with celebrities through online fan experiences — was set to host the event, which would also get streamed on pay-per-view.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) was entering the ring for the first time since 2018, where he stopped kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve. Prior to that, he beat former UFC champion Conor McGregor in 2017.
In 2019, Paul (0-1) suffered a split decision loss to fellow YouTube personality KSI in a six-round cruiserweight bout.
