Floyd Mayweather sees red in FURIOUS clash with Jake Paul after YouTuber stole his hat

Floyd Mayweather snapped and saw red ahead of his controversial return to boxing against YouTuber Logan Paul, after getting embroiled in a furious confrontation with his younger brother Jake.

Mayweather, 44, will return from boxing retirement on June 6 when he meets no-mark Logan Paul in the ring in Miami, but it was the younger brother who left the undefeated legend of the sport spoiling for a fight.

Cameras picked up the extraordinary scenes as Mayweather was seen initially giving an interview and stating he would happily fight both brothers on the same night, one after the other.

Jake Paul – who recently knocked-out retired MMA star Ben Askren inside 60-seconds took exception to the comments and decided to daringly step up and call Mayweather out.

Bedlam soon broke out, with both the Mayweather camp and the opposing camp of the Paul brothers camp coming to blows and being separated by security.

Unable to get his hat back, Mayweather was seen being ushered away from the scene while shouting: ‘Don’t disrespect me like that, you don’t know who you’re f*****g playing with!

‘I’m gonna kill that motherf*****, when I catch you. Are you crazy? You don’t know who you’re f*****g playing with.’

Footage from the scene concluded with Jake Paul being hauled away into a backroom, with his t-shirt visibly stretched at the collar from the confrontation.

Later, the YouTuber star uploaded a video to his personal Instagram account in which he continued to attempt to goad Mayweather about his hat, though boxing fans were quick to point out the welting and bruising of what appeared to be a rapidly emerging black eye.

Jake Paul now has three professional boxing fights to his record with three victories, after defeating fellow YouTuber AnEson Gibb and former NBA star Nate Robinson before beating Askren.

His brother Logan Paul, who will step inside the ring with Mayweather in just over four weeks, has one professional fight to his name against fellow YouTuber KSI, which he lost.

Earlier, before the commotion, Mayweather had been posing for pictures on stage and insisted to him it was not a ‘fight’, while promising fans he would serve up a guaranteed knockout.

Mayweather said: ‘I’m 100 per cent sure it’s going to be a knockout.

‘It’s not really a fight for me. It is to him. For me, it’s just going out and doing what I do. This is all about entertainment. This is the biggest event since Covid hit.’
