Exhibition Fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
On December 6, 2020, it was announced that Logan Paul would fight the famous boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition match. An exhibition match is usually for show and doesn't count on a boxer's official record. The fight happened on June 6, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The fight went for the full eight rounds, but no winner was announced. Mayweather landed more punches, showing his boxing skill. After the fight, Mayweather praised Logan, saying he was "better than I thought." Logan wondered if Mayweather had held back during the fight. Mayweather later confirmed he did, saying it would have been a quick win if it were a "real fight."

On July 28, 2023, it was announced that Logan Paul would fight American mixed martial artist Dillon Danis. This fight was part of a big event called MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card, which took place on October 14 in Manchester, England.
The fight ended in the sixth round when Danis tried an illegal move. Security entered the ring, and a small fight broke out. Danis was disqualified, and Logan Paul was declared the winner.
