The great Floyd Mayweather is reportedly set to once again return to the boxing ring. ‘Money’ is in an incredibly weird position in his career, and overall life. Floyd Mayweather famously retired from professional boxing after a knockout victory over Conor McGregor in August 2017. However, the boxer hasn’t stayed away from the ring. Instead, Mayweather has been competing in exhibition matches.

Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre once nearly fought Floyd Mayweather. ‘Rush’ hasn’t competed since a third-round submission victory over Michael Bisping at UFC 217. That victory saw Georges St-Pierre end a four-year layoff, to defeat ‘The Count’ in Madison Square Garden. While the Canadian later showed interest in fights against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov, he never fought again.

There, the former eight-division champion confirmed plans to fight in 2024 and even announced plans to rematch Floyd Mayweather.

Believe it or not, John Gotti III vs. Floyd Mayweather 2 is somehow on the table. ‘Money’ had yet another exhibition bout earlier this month in Florida. While Floyd Mayweather has continued to compete in an exhibition capacity, the vast majority of these bouts have been treated as little more than sparring sessions. Over the last few years, the boxer has faced YouTubers such as Logan Paul and Deji.

Misfits Boxing is seemingly closing in on its most bizarre matchup yet. The promotion was started by YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI last year. The Brit has fought in his own promotion several times, scoring knockout wins over names such as Swarmz, Luis Alcaraz Pineda, and Faze Temper. Over the last few months, he’s targeted a matchup with a longtime rival, Jake Paul.

Former five-division champion Floyd Mayweather will be heading to the U.K. next month. ‘Money’ has been out of action since an exhibition clash with YouTuber-turned-boxer Deji Olatunji in November.

Floyd Mayweather has often claimed that he ‘carried’ Conor McGregor through the early rounds of their 2017 boxing superfight, which ended in a 10th round TKO victory for Floyd. Now McGregor is firing back, saying he was the one who was doing the carrying. McGregor’s comments came as part of a compliment he paid towards Claressa Shields, who had just won a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate against Savannah Marshall over the weekend. Shields retained her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBF, and The Ring middleweight titles. She added the WBO middleweight title to her collection, becoming the unified middleweight champion.
