It is not yet clear which British broadcaster will air the exhibition.

The announcement come fresh off of last week’s news that Logan’s brother, Jake, was a huge part of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr exhibition bringing in more than 1.2million pay-per-view buys.

According to FITE TV CEO Mike Weber, Jake Paul was responsible for around “40 per cent” of those buys.

Logan is considered a bigger star than Jake and boasts almost double the amount of social media followers.

His rematch with KSI – his pro boxing debut that ended in defeat – attracted around 1.2million PPV sales.

Mayweather has been one of the biggest draws in boxing in the 21st Century.

His fights against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor are the two richest ever made, each bringing in more than $400million.

The Money Man last fought an exhibition against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018.

That fight scored Mayweather around $9m for just 139 seconds of work.
