American boxer Floyd Mayweather's fight against YouTube star Logan Paul is back on as far as the latest media reports are concerned.
The exhibition match will be staged on 6 June at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and the undefeated boxer, Mayweather, announced the date on his Instagram page on Tuesday.
