The undefeated icon is the favorite to beat the YouTuber in her exhibition fight – despite Paul’s significant weight and size advantage.

Speaking to Reuters on The Mirror, Tyson said, “Floyd is going to kill this guy, man.
“Floyd stays in the gym, he never gets out of shape. He’s going to have so much fun winning this money.”
The 44-year-old, who won world titles in six weight classes in his illustrious career, has not lost a fight since the 1996 Olympic Games – and even that was a controversial defeat.
But Paul, who lost his only professional fight to fellow YouTuber colleague KSI in November 2019, is SIX Centimeters taller than his opponent – and this will likely make it much heavier.

And at 26, the wannabe is 18 years younger than Mayweather – another key benefit.
Paul certainly assesses his chances and promises to “behead” his respected rival in the first round of their bout.

And his brother Jake, who also ventured into boxing from YouTube, sees an opportunity in the underdog.
He told SunSport: “This is entertaining and I think Floyd will again greatly underestimate my brother and there is an advantage of scale, my brother is fast and has knockout power.”
Jean Pascal, who trained the Paul brothers, has also praised Logan’s boxing skills.
He told SunSport, “Definitely he’s going to surprise people, honestly what people don’t know, they think Logan Paul is just a YouTuber, but Logan Paul has some skills.”

But Mayweather’s ex-sparring partner Ashley Theophane has none of it and assumes that the former champion will gain ease.
He told SunSport: “Floyd will win by KO. It’s an exhibition, but you have a YouTuber versus a legendary boxer.
“Floyd will take out Logan Paul within four turns, then Jake Paul can have his turn.”
The highly anticipated fight will take place in Miami on Sunday, June 6th 4 am british time.
