For Logan Paul, this would be a significant step in his career, as he continues to transition from social media fame to a successful boxing and WWE career.
Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation from both fighters and the event organizers. If it happens, this fight could redefine the landscape of exhibition bouts and provide a spectacular showcase of combat sports in India.
