Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather has announced that he will be fighting YouTube star Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition on February 20.
Mayweather is an undefeated champion with a 50-0 record, multiple world titles in five weight classes, and an Olympic bronze medal.
Mayweather was estimated to have earned more than $100m from his fight with UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017, and $9m from an exhibition against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018.
Paul is best known for his controversial YouTube video where he filmed a dead body in a Japanese forest.
Mayweather called out Logan Paul last month on Twitter, making his thoughts on boxing YouTubers clear and saying he’s “not the one for the kid games.”
