News broke online that the ‘special exhibition fight’ had suffered a change of date having been initially scheduled for February 20.

Opening up about the development, Paul said on The Night Shift Gaming: “We’re figuring it out now.

“There was some complications with – actually, I don’t know how much I can say.

“I will say this; the complications are when you’re dealing with someone like Floyd Mayweather.

“Who is the most desired, highest paid fighter on the planet and he operates at a certain calibre, and the people around him want to make sure their talent, their fighter is performing at a certain level.

“There are a lot hoops to jump through, there a lot of people involved and you’ve only got one shot at it so you need to get it absolutely 1,000 per cent right.

“We’re just making sure we’re doing that. But yeah, I’m still going to beat the s*** out of Floyd Mayweather.

“Or, maybe he’s going to beat the s*** out of me, who knows? Point is, it’s still going to happen.”

Paul, 25, has fought just once as a professional, losing his debut to internet rival KSI, 27, by split-decision in 2019 after having a two-point deduction.

Mayweather, 43, meanwhile, officially retired in 2017 after stopping former UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in ten rounds.

He did make a return a year later, wiping out featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition bout.

Mayweather now prepares to fight again under similar circumstances, gearing up for his pay-per-view spectacle with Paul.

The American all-time great has a farcical skill and experience advantage but will give away FOUR STONE and six inches in height.
