Floyd Mayweather, 47, to rematch John Gotti III - the grandson of notorious mob boss - in Mexico... after first fight ended in vicious BRAWL
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather is slated to return to the ring this summer for a rematch against John Gotti III - the grandson of the late mob boss.
The 47-year-old first faced Gotti III back in June 2023, with the fight ending in chaos as a brawl broke out after people stormed the ring following a controversial decision.
They were initially slated to meet again on Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas but now DAZN have announced the fight will be held in Mexico on August 24.
'#UnfinishedBusiness August 24th rematch in Mexico City. This is something you don't want to miss!!' Mayweather wrote on Instagram alongside the fight poster.
The 47-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal career in professional boxing, winning all 50 of his fights between 1996 and 2017.

That culminated in a money-spinning crossover fight against UFC star Conor McGregor and the American has since had a number of other exhibition bouts around the world.
He has fought in Japan and London before facing Gotti III in Florida last June. Gotti is the grandson of former New York crime boss John Gotti, who died in 2022.
His first fight with Gotti was declared a no contest after referee Kenny Bayliss stopped the fight in round six due to 'excessive trash talking'.
But Gotti then forced his way past the official and continued throwing punches at Mayweather.
Following the brawl Gotti did not stop taking shots at Mayweather. He took to Instagram to post: 'Punk b***h @Floyd Mayweather. You my enemy for life.'
