Floyd Mayweather is stepping back into the boxing ring against… Logan Paul?

The 44-year-old boxing great will don the gloves one more time against the 26-year-old YouTube star in a matchup of polarizing entities on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens in a pay-per-view on Showtime and Fanmio.

While the bout will not be an official one — the Florida State Boxing Commission cannot regulate it due to vast size and experience differentials — Mayweather and Paul will wear 12-ounce gloves and no headgear for their eight-round exhibition, which can end early via KO.

That’s enough to likely rake in the pay-per-view cash.

Helping on that front, Paul’s younger brother Jake, a rising pugilist and YouTube annoyance of his own, got involved in the pre-fight shenanigans, stealing Mayweather’s hat and taunting the veteran fighter.

It certainly stirred up some media buzz, and possibly even some legit bad blood.

“It’s one thing to sell a fight, and people can say what they want, but one thing no one is going to do is disrespect me,” Mayweather said.

While Mayweather is no longer in his prime, he’s still 50-0 as a professional and his powerful right fist lingers despite being overshadowed by his veteran defensive game.

Not that Paul is planning to fall victim to either.

“Floyd came out of retirement, just to get re-retired. I’m about to beat the greatest fighter of all time,” he said.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch all the action:
