‘He will give Floyd trouble’ - Victor Ortiz picks Logan Paul to pull off upset over Mayweather

YouTuber Logan Paul will take on the biggest test of his budding boxing career when he faces the consensus greatest fighter of this era, Floyd Mayweather Jr. The pair will meet inside the squared ring in an exhibition bout on February 20.

With a couple of months to go, the 25-year-old internet star is already hard at work. Standing by his side as he puts in the hours is former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, who saw firsthand how Paul knocked out three training partners during a sparring session one afternoon.

“Mind you, these are full-on professional boxers,” Ortiz said of Paul’s training partners in a recent interview with MMA Fighting.
