Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul's hotly-anticipated exhibition bout will not have an official winner -- but knockouts and stoppages have not been ruled out.
Paul, who has only fought professionally once against YouTube rival KSI, will clash with the boxing legend on 6th June.
The 26-year-old YouTuber has already vowed to knock out Mayweather at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, before he retires and snubs a potential rematch.

Mayweather, on the other hand, has claimed that he has 'no strategy' and insisted that it is "all up to me" how long the fight with Paul lasts.
Now, the rules for the exhibition boxing clash have been revealed as neither Mayweather nor Paul will walk away as the 'official winner.'
That's according to a spokesperson for Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation, who also told ESPN that Mayweather vs Paul will not have judges at ringside.
