All boxing fans were waiting for Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of the greatest champions in history and one of the most charismatic characters in the sport, to make his comeback. He fought in an exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (Florida) against youtuber Logan Paul, a celebrity with little experience in the ring but with the necessary media reach to be part of a million-dollar event.
Although the 44-year-old former boxer was expected to win easily, the youtuber held on for all eight rounds and since there were no judges, there were no winners or losers. Although the former boxer proved to be better between the ropes, he was unable to take his opponent down.
Paul was the first to take the stage with the song From Now On, from the movie The Greatest Showman. After a few seconds of meditation, he stepped into the ring wearing a yellow robe, showing a lot of confidence and with a Pokémon card hanging from his neck. The card from the famous anime was of Charizard, one of the most powerful fire creatures in the cartoon. A sign of the power that the 26-year-old believes he has inside.
For his part, Mayweather, accompanied by a crowd, came out with his own rapper, with live music. In addition, he arrived at the ring wearing a mask and to a deafening ovation from the audience that applauded him much more than his opponent.
