YouTube star Logan Paul could cause a shock win over Floyd Mayweather by landing “one shot” in their heavily rumoured exhibition super-fight, according to British boxer Conor Benn.
But speculation recently emerged that talks were under way between the American superstar’s camp and Mayweather’s team over an exhibition fight.
Benn believes that Paul could stun the whole world by beating Mayweather inside the ring, despite the boxing legend holding an unblemished 50-0 record.
The 23-year-old Brit told iFL TV: “Maybe I am not joking, Maybe I think Logan Paul will beat him.
“What if he does? I mean, what if he does? What if it’s one shot that lands?
“50 fights… All he needs is one shot of Logan. All Logan has to do is land one on him. Just one.”
One boxing fan account has already suggested that Paul could beat Mayweather by taking advantage of the “vulnerabilities” exposed by Conor McGregor in 2017.
McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, reacted to the Paul vs Mayweather news and questioned how the YouTube star would receive a boxing license.
The 43-year-old Irishman tweeted: “how is logan getting a pro license to fight mayweather? he has no pro combat sports experience? “yes but didnt conor get a boxing license to debut against him??”
“true, but you’re a slow donkey if you think that is in anyway similar to a youtuber getting one for his debut [sic].”
