Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III face off ahead of exhibition boxing rematch
Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III kept things respectful this time around.
Mayweather and Gotti face off in an exhibition boxing on Aug. 24 in Mexico City. It’s a rematch of a 2023 exhibition bout between the two that descended into chaos when referee Kenny Bayless halted the fight due to excessive trash talk between the two, causing a near brawl in the ring afterward.
Now the two are set to run things back. Ata press event in New York City on Thursday, both men remained chill before engaging in their first faceoff for the rematch.
Gotti is the 31-year-old grandson of infamous mob boss John Gotti, but made a name for himself as an MMA fighter before transitioning into boxing where he is currently 2-0 as a professional.
The 47-year-old Mayweather is widely considered to be one of the best boxers of his generation and an all-time great. Sporting a perfect 50-0 professional record, Mayweather retired from boxing in 2017 but has since engaged in a number of exhibition bouts like this one, including matchups with Logan Paul and Aaron Chalmers.
