Logan Paul looks set to return to the ring after accepting a challenge from Brazilian star Whindersson.
Paul appeared to have retired from boxing following his exhibition bout with ring legend Floyd Mayweather last summer.
The YouTube star survived all eight rounds against Mayweather having previously lost his only professional bout to social media rival KSI.
He has since launched an energy drink with his former rival while conceding his fighting days were behind him.
But Whindersson - real named Whindersson Nunes Batista - has called out Paul for a fight after his own exhibition with former professional boxer Acelino Popo Freitas.
Whindersson was badly cut during the bout but the judges scored the fight a draw after eight rounds.
And while Freitas called out former UFC champion Jose Aldo, Whindersson demanded a fight with Paul who later tweeted, "Challenge accepted". Whindersson replied: "Let's do it"..
Whindersson made his name as a YouTube star in Brazilian and has the second biggest channel in his homeland.
He boasts 57million Instagram followers, more than twice as many as Paul who is one of America's leading social media figures.
Paul first ventured into the ring in 2018 when he took on KSI in a white-collar bout in Manchester with the pair fighting to a draw.
They clashed again the following year when they turned professional for a six-round contest in Los Angeles which KSI won by split-decision.
He then took on Mayweather in Miami but there were no judge and so the fight was not officially scored.

And asked recently what he and KSI do for a living by TikTok star ItsDanielMac, the latter responded, "Well we used to be boxers but we're retired now," to which Paul added, "Yeah".
Paul had been linked with an exhibition against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson but the former undisputed champion has ruled out a return.
He made a comeback against Roy Jones Jr in 2020 but said recently: " I’m not even interested in doing this stuff.
“It was just fun at first. If it was back when I first started, yes, and we were both fighting on the same card and both active, yeah, we could do it. But, it just turned ... it just turned bad. It didn’t turn out right.
“I wanted to do it the first time just for fun to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it."
