We’ve seen some crazy things happen in the world of sport but there is perhaps nothing more weird than to see boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr come out of retirement to take on inexperienced YouTuber Logan Paul. ‘Money’, who is undefeated in 50 professional fights, during which time he has beaten some of the best boxers that ever lived, is putting his reputation and legacy on the line for all to see in Saturday’s contest at the Miami’s Hard Rock arena. What did it take for a hugely accomplished and retired fighter like Mayweather Jr to want to get back into the ring against a kid who is nothing more than an internet phenomenon? Not a lot it appears. However, this is not the first time that something as ridiculous as this has happened before and Gulf News decided we look back at some of the most bizarre, lopsided and downright funny fights that have happened in our strange times.
