Jake Paul: Floyd Mayweather risks underestimating Logan Paul's powerDAZN
The YouTube celebrities are resolutely committed to talking about the forthcoming event.

Jake Paul has warned Floyd Mayweather that he risks underestimating the power his brother Logan possesses.

26-year-old YouTuber Logan is due to face Mayweather on June 6 in an exhibition fight, and Jake has already riled up the 44-year-old fighter by stealing his cap in a startlingly edifying encounter to drum up interest in the spectacle.

Jake defended the planned fight despite the lack of expected quality from at least one of the participants, telling The Sun that it would raise interest in the sport and give entertainment to the audience.

Jake said: "I think it's great, I think it brings more eyeballs to the sport of boxing. People forget that boxing is entertainment.

"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."

Mayweather has 50 professional victories in an unblemished professional record, whereas Logan has drawn an exhibition and lost a professional fight against another YouTube presence, KSI.

Jake has previously said he would only be interested in taking on Mayweather if he could do so in a professional setting.
