“Marvelous” Marvin Hagler Dies: Popular Middleweight Champ & Boxing Hall Of Famer Was 66

Mayweather, 44, hasn’t fought since a 2018 exhibition against a Japanese kickboxer, and his last pro bout was against UFC legend Conor McGregor. The latter was the most-viewed PPV event in history, topping Mayweather’s 2015 KO unanimous decision over ex-champ Manny Pacquiao for his 50th career pro victory. He has held title belts in five divisions: junior lightweight, lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight.

Paul, who starred in last year’s Valley Girl remake, is 26 and has fought only once, losing a 2019 exhibition to British YouTuber KSI at Staples Center in Los Angeles. His brother, Jake Paul, also has taken to the ring after making his name — and gaining some infamy — on YouTube.
