Logan Paul, 25, says he wants to take on Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, 37, in a boxing ring: ‘I’ll fight him after Mayweather’
Logan Paul wants to have a fight against Chris Hemsworth.
The YouTube star is set to face undefeated former world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr in the ring next month for a special exhibition fight and has now set his sights on a bout with the Thor star in the future.
Responding to a video uploaded by 37-year-old Chris showing himself working on the pads, the 25-year-old replied: ‘I’ll fight him after Mayweather.’

Hemsworth is a big UFC fan and has used martial arts in his training regimes, but has never had a professional fight unlike Logan – who lost by a split-decision against fellow YouTube star KSI in 2019.
Logan’s younger brother Jake is not convinced about his brother’s chances of beating 43-year-old Mayweather, and believes that the match-up will damage boxing’s reputation.
He said to TMZ Sports: ‘My brother’s f*****…It’s bad for the sport. I think it’s just for clout.’

Jake did note that he still wanted the fight to go well, stating that: ‘I wish him the best of luck.’
The YouTuber also shared: ‘I just like – don’t get in there with a guy who’s never even been knocked out. He’s been knocked down once and it was by accident.’
He has enjoyed a more successful start to his boxing career after tasting victory in his first two fights, and he reportedly hopes to take on Mayweather after his sibling’s bout.
The Bizaardvark star later responded to Logan’s challenge to Hemsworth by writing on Twitter: ‘And then I’ll fight Mayweather.’
The news comes after Justin Bieber joked that he still hopes to challenge Tom Cruise to a fight and suggested that he would be able to take on the Mission: Impossible actor.

Bieber also tagged UFC president Dana White in the post; he later admitted that the idea of a match between the two would not be likely.
Following the release of his music video for Anyone, the Sorry hitmaker posted a black and white snap on Instagram depicting him in the ring wearing boxing shorts with his name emblazoned across the waistband.
The singer referenced his previous remarks and reignited the feud as he quipped in the caption: ‘Tom Cruise is toast.’
