Floyd Mayweather Jr has vowed to fight Logal Paul before returning to box in Japan.

The undefeated American has been retired since 2017 when he knocked out UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

But the 43-year-old did perform in an exhibition bout in 2018, knocking out undefeated kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Saitama on 31 December.

And Mayweather is eager to return to Japan, though he insists he will gladly make time to take on YouTube star Logan Paul beforehand, vowing to hand him the “same treatment” as McGregor after being called out.

Mayweather said: “These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games.

“Three years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. Logan Paul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.”

Paul has taken to boxing in recent years with two lucrative bouts with fellow YouTuber KSI.

The first bout was a majority draw before the rematch, this time under professional rules, saw KSI secure victory.

But Paul is now chasing the legendary Mayweather and replied to his offer, “50-1”, in reference to his vow to hand the former world champion at five weight classes.
