The undefeated boxer will take on the YouTube sensation in Miami in an eight-round exhibition bout.

Floyd Mayweather’s perfect 50-0 record will remain in tact regardless of the result, but “Money” is not expected to go easy.

The 44-year-old’s last competitive fight was back in 2017 against Conor McGregor, but he has remained in shape in the years since.

“Floyd is going to kill this guy, man,” Tyson told Reuters.

“Floyd stays in the gym, he’s never out of shape. He’s going to have so much fun winning this money.”

Despite his absence from the ring Floyd Mayweather is in no doubt about his abilities.

He has claimed that he wouldn’t have to be any near top gear to knock off his opponent.

Mayweather said: “I ain’t gotta use my A-game. I ain’t gotta use my A-game, my B-game, my C-game — I can use my Z-game, don’t even gotta hit him hard and the results gonna be the same.”

Paul though has remained bullish in the lead up to the fight.

The 26-year-old insists his life has revolved around achieving the impossible and plans to continue that theme.

“This whole thing is just so crazy, we have already defied the odds,” he said.

“When my manager asked if I wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather I just laughed.

“But I will never laugh at him again. I can’t believe all this but I am determined to put on a show.

“They can say it’s an exhibition but I am ready to fight. I really do believe that people will be surprised at my skills.

“I am that dude, the guy who does something no-one else thinks they can do. That’s been me my whole life, I am here to achieve the impossible. Sunday night will be an extension of that.”

The fight will be screened LIVE on SuperSport from 03:00 on Monday, 7 June.
