Logan Paul sparring after calling out legend Floyd Mayweather and claims he would ‘snap the f***er in half’
LOGAN PAUL is sparring again after calling out Floyd Mayweather and claiming he would 'snap the f***er in half'.
The YouTuber and legend Mayweather were in bizarre talks recently over a farcical exhibition bout.
And the pair ramped up speculation of a fight after trading words online.
Later, an image shared on Instagram showed 25-year-old Paul after a recent sparring session.
Amateur boxer Angel Lozano, who shared the picture, went on to praise the social media star's skill in the ring which 'will surprise a lot of you'.
Lozano wrote: "Everyone asking is he any good he solid work I promise he will surprise a lot of you.
"Don’t be mad at him because he doing it!
"If you walk into a boxing gym you will find the most random people putting in work together that would never be in the room together outside of the gym to me that make boxing special!
"Don’t judge someone if you ain’t perfect!"
Paul caught Mayweather's attention after he boasted about being able to 'whoop' the 50-0 icon.

He said: "Let me tell you this, if I caught Floyd in a real fight, street fight, whoop his ass, no question.
"MMA? Octagon? Whoop his ass, no question. The only place Floyd is safe, obviously the boxing ring.
"But to be honest, I don't give a f***. I don't give a f***. I would fight Floyd anytime, anywhere, any place. Doesn't f***in' matter to me.
"If I caught Floyd with one punch, I would snap this f***er in half. Crack, my friend.
"I'm eight inches taller, 40 pounds heavier, half his age, two times as hungry, 10 times as smart."
Paul's fighting words did not go down too well with Mayweather, who retired in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor.
The 43-year-old announced he is set to come back to the ring in February 2021 in Japan for an exhibition bout.
It was in Tokyo two years ago that he earned £7million after taking out featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.
And Mayweather revealed before he marks his return to the Far East, he is all in to fight Paul.
He tweeted: "These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games.
"3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch.
"@loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again."
Paul made his pro boxing debut last November, losing by split-decision against internet rival KSI.
The American had two points deducted after hitting KSI on the floor, which ultimately cost him the result.
Despite his losing record, Paul has called to face Mayweather in a money-spinning spectacle.

"Mr Money wants a money fight? Let's f***ing go."
