Floyd Mayweather will appear “for the first and only time” in a Mexican boxing ring on August 24th at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico at Mexico City.
In the other corner for the exhibition bout will be John Gotti III, the grandson of the organized crime leader.
It will be a rematch of a 2023 exhibition bout. Gotti is 2-0 in actual boxing matches.
For Mayweather, this fight represents more than an opportunity to add another victory to the roster of his impressive legacy. It is a personal challenge, an opportunity to once again be in the limelight, lauded and celebrated by adoring Mexican fans, and to mark his name once again in boxing history. And what better setting for this feat than Mexican soil, where for the first and only time he will star in a fight! One time only!
In the other corner of the ring, John Gotti III presents himself as a fierce and focused competitor with a legacy of fight and titanic determination. With his family’s name in his soul and on the line, representing all who seek to challenge Floyd, Gotti III seeks to underline his own name, placing it to the forefront in boxing history. This is not just a confrontation between two men, it is the embodiment of an intense rivalry that promises to set the sport alight with a unique fight.
