MANILA, Philippines—YouTuber Logan Paul had a few choice words for boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. ahead of their exhibition bout on June 6 in Miami.
In a video posted under DJ Akademiks’ Instagram account, Paul berated Mayweather and belittled the former five-division World champion’s training partners.
“Floyd Mayweather is so excited that he made someone bleed in sparring. He posted the same picture twice from the same day, he’s so excited,” said in the video.
“Hey champ, you’re not the only person who makes people bleed in sparring. Besides, your sparring partners are human blood sprinklers. Who are you sparring bro? You’re sparring trash, you f****** pipsqueak.”
Mayweather is undoubtedly one of the best boxers in history holding a 50-0 record with 27 knockouts while Paul is 0-1 as someone who’s dabbled in the sport with his lone fight ending in defeat against fellow Internet personality KSI.
In the press conference for their fight, Mayweather got into a skirmish with Logan’s brother Paul, who flicked the hat off the boxing champion’s head and ran away
The 6-foot-2 Paul also holds a distinct size advantage over the 5-foot-8 Mayweather and promised that their fight date would be hell for the boxing icon.
“June 6 is going to be the worst day of your life dog. I’m going to make this s*** so hard for you,” said Paul.
