He cheered on 'AJ' as he easily defended his world heavyweight titles, stopping the Bulgarian challenger in the ninth round.

Mayweather and Joshua then embraced backstage with Hearn also posing for pictures and the Matchroom promoter has revealed his conversation with the legendary American boxer.

He joked with Mayweather ahead of his 'super exhibition' against the YouTube star next year.

"I'm going to take a little bit of a sabbatical from the YouTube stuff," he said.

"I kicked the ball off last year and now everybody is trying to do it."

Hearn added: "I actually said to Floyd on Saturday night when he was at the AJ fight, 'you need to be careful, this is a very, very tough fight you have with Logan Paul.'

"And then he asked me: 'are you serious?' and then I said: 'No I'm not.'"

The bout between Mayweather and Paul will headline a pay-per-event on February 20 with 'Money' to make a guaranteed $9 million plus 50% of all PPV sales.

Paul can expect a lot less as he's set to pocket $200,000 and only 5% of all the sales of the pay-per-view.

Mayweather, 43, hasn't fought since his exhibition against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018.

As for Paul, the 25-year-old last fought 13 months ago when he suffered a loss to YouTube rival KSI.
