Logan Paul has had many iconic matches in WWE over the past two years. The Maverick took to Twitter to celebrate the second anniversary of his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Logan competed in his first WWE match at WrestleMania 38. He teamed up with The Miz to defeat Rey Mysterio and Dominik before being betrayed by his partner post-match.
Following his first match in the squared circle, he returned to boxing and faced off against the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a match billed as "Bragging Rights." The contest was held on June 6, 2021, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, and reportedly sold more than one million pay-per-view buys.
The two men put on a remarkable show in the ring, and Mayweather was on top of his opponent for most of the contest. Logan Paul survived the total eight-round distance, and no winner was announced.
However, the current WWE star remembers things differently and took to Twitter to celebrate the second anniversary of the iconic bout. He wrote that he beat Floyd Mayweather in the contest.
