But the Paul Brothers have joined the professional ranks of boxing, with Jake knocking out Nate Robinson and calling out professional boxers as well as UFC stars. Jake is now set to fight Ben Askren on April 16. Logan, meanwhile, is due to face undefeated boxing icon Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather in an exhibition bout on February 20, but, it has been delayed, and there have even been rumours of cancellation altogether. Logan has previously said that the fight is delayed due to \u201cCOVID and business complications\u201d and not due to a lack of interest, while Floyd Mayweather says they pushed it back because he wants a live audience of more than \u201c80,000 people.\u201d Logan maintains it is still definitely going ahead. As for who will win, UFC President Dana White thinks Logan will get smoked, but the YouTuber\u2019s fighting talk only seems to have kicked up a notch after an interview with Access on April 1. Logan claims he has better chances of winning with every day the match is delayed, going so far as to call the undefeated champion \u201cslow\u201d and \u201cfragile.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve been training every single day\u2026 hard preparing to fight this guy and the way I look it, as every day that goes by, I get about one to two percent better, and every day that goes by he gets about one day older. And so the older Floyd Mayweather gets, the slower he gets, the more fragile he gets. (Topic starts at 4:40) \u201cMe? I\u2019m the opposite. I\u2019m 26, I\u2019m headed into my prime and I\u2019m at that tipping point where I\u2019m getting exponentially better at this sport very quickly so yeah the longer he waits I think the more he\u2019s in danger.\u201d Logan even claimed he\u2019s faster than Mayweather, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve heard it all. They\u2019re saying he\u2019s the greatest fighter on the planet and they\u2019re saying he\u2019s undefeated. I don\u2019t care, none of it intimidates me. \u201cI\u2019m taller, I\u2019m bigger, I\u2019m hungrier, I\u2019m faster, I\u2019m stronger\u2026 yeah I just said I\u2019m faster than Floyd Mayweather, I am, I\u2019m the fastest planet let\u2019s not forget\u2026 He\u2019s had a great legacy all good things must come to an end.\u201d Despite these strong words, Logan still doesn\u2019t have a win to his name. Whether he\u2019s all bark and no bite remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul claims Floyd Mayweather fight delay increases his chances of winning Wikimedia commons\/ YouTube: Logan PaulLogan Paul has claimed that delays to his hotly anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather actually increase his chance of winning, Ever since KSI and Joe Weller squared off back in 2018, YouTubers have made it the norm to settle [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53843\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
