Floyd Mayweather will 'severely underestimate' Logan Paul's knockout power when they meet in the ring, according to brother Jake Paul.

It was announced earlier this month that Mayweather, a five-weight world champion who holds an unblemished record of 50-0, has agreed to fight the American YouTuber on June 6 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Paul, who lost his professional debut to fellow internet sensation KSI in 2019, is, without doubt, the underdog coming into this exhibition bout.

But his brother, Jake, believes Logan can use his four stone and eight-inch height advantage against one of the greatest of all time.

"I think it's great, I think it brings more eyeballs to the sport of boxing. People forget that boxing is entertainment." Paul told Sun Sport.

"All sports are designed for entertainment even dating back to the Roman Empire, they had Olympics sports for entertainment.

"This is entertaining and I think that Floyd will again severely underestimate my brother, and there's a size advantage, my brother's fast and has knockout power.

"I'm not saying he's going to beat Floyd, I'm not going to say he's going to lose against Floyd, but I do think we're going to see a good fight."

Jake Paul will not be attending his brother's fight against Mayweather after being banned from the event.

It comes after all hell broke loose during a press conference, when Jake, now a 3-0 professional boxer, stole Mayweather's cap as they trashed talk one another about a potential match-up.

Mayweather caught 'The Problem Child' with a clean right hand, with his bodyguards also getting involved as a wild melee spilt into the tunnels of the arena.

Logan Paul, meanwhile, has released footage of himself in training for the Mayweather bout.

In the below video, the 26-year-old can be seen sparring four of the five Gronkowski brothers - Glenn, Chris, Dan and Gordie - in the same fight.

The YouTuber drops both Chris and Dan, while stopping the other two brothers on their feet.

Do you think Logan Paul has ANY chance against the undefeated Mayweather?
