And the prices for the boxing bout have also been revealed with mega savings to be had for early buyers.

According to the Fanmio website, early bird pricing is at $24.99 (£18.62) for the first million tickets sold.

It then rises to $39.99 (£29.80), and then to $59.99 (£44.71) starting December 29.

It will then increase to $69.99 (£52.16) for the final days of build up, starting February 11.

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

Mayweather wrote on Instagram: “Super Exhibition Feb. 20, 2021!!!! Early Bird Special On Sale NOW!!!! More Details Soon.”

The undefeated five-weight world champion also revealed that tickets are already on sale.

Despite Paul, 25, turning pro this bout will be an exhibition – and one that will likely rake in MILLIONS for the pair.

Floyd Mayweather’s last professional boxing bout was in 2017 against Conor McGregor

Mayweather has not boxed a professional bout since beating Conor McGregor in August 2017 to move to 50-0.

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.

The fight comes after increasing speculation that the pair would meet.

Both men have been seen to be increasing their training output, while engaging in a bit of trash talk.

Logan Paul called Mayweather illiterate last month in a video, saying: “Hey Floyd, I know you’ve had the contract for a while now.

“At first I thought you didn’t sign it because you didn’t want one punch to ruin your legacy.

“But now I feel like maybe you didn’t sign it because you don’t know how to spell your name.

“Don’t worry, champ, I’ve got you – check this out. I made you a cheat sheet.”

Pointing to the letters sellotaped to the wall in his gloves, Paul added: “This is your name. Floyd Mayweather.

“It’s pretty simple – it starts with an F.”

Then the W in Mayweather fell off the wall, prompting him to add: “F***. Well, yeah, you ain’t getting the W anyway.

“Then an L – your first L. O-Y-D. May. Eather.

“Sign the f***ing contract, Floyd.”
