His long-awaited fight, 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 extraordinary response to the announcement of the fight, we look forward to announcing a new date very soon, along with some interesting new details,” Engel said in a statement.
Fanmio, an online platform that connects fans with celebrities through online fan experiences, has been set up to host the event, which will also be streamed with pay-per-view.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) entered the ring for the first time in 2018, where he stopped kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve. He previously defeated former UFC champion Conor McGregor in 2017.
In 2019, Paul (0-1) suffered a split decision loss to YouTube personality KSI in a six-round cruiserweight bout.
