The boxing legend, Mike Tyson gave his predictions for the exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather and influencer Logan Paul, which takes place on February 20th. In an interview with the podcast 'imPaulsive', from the YouTuber himself, the former heavyweight champion of the noble art did not mince words when analyzing the confrontation.

“Floyd is going to beat you (Logan Paul) a lot and it will be good to see him fight. He retired, but continues training. It's one of the best in history,' said Tyson.

Mike also spoke about the importance of YouTubers in boxing's 'comeback'. According to him, the brothers Logan and Jake Paul – who knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson, in an event that marked the comeback Mike Tyson – attract a new audience and make boxing regain its prestige.

“Boxing owes these YouTube boxers. Organizations should give some credit because these guys keep boxing alive. It was practically a finished sport. The UFC was killing us and now we have YouTubers fighting with 25 million views. Boxing is back thanks to YouTube boxers,” he highlighted.

At 43 years old, Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest legends in boxing history. In total, he had 50 fights as a professional and he never lost. The legend of the 'noble art' has not fought since December 2018, when he beat Tenshin Nasukawa at RIZIN, in an exhibition fight.

On the other hand, YouTuber Logan Paul is 25 years old and, although he is not as well known in Brazil, he has 22,7 million subscribers on his channel. However, in boxing he still has little experience: two fights, with a draw (amateur boxing, in 2018) and a professional defeat (2019) in a split decision. Both occurred against internet celebrity 'KSI'.
