Mayweather and Gotti will clash on pay-per-view on Aug. 24 in Mexico City.
The 31-year-old grandson of the infamous mob boss John Gotti is 5-1 as a pro MMA fighter, but made the switch over the boxing following his first MMA loss to Nick Alley in a massive upset at CES 61 in October 2020. Gotti is 2-0 in his pro boxing career, including a first-round knockout victory in January 2023.
Mayweather, 47, has kept himself busy with exhibition bouts against the likes of Logan Paul, Deji, and even Tenshin Nasukawa since defeating Conor McGregor in his final pro boxing bout in August 2017.
The Mayweather vs. Gotti III press conference is expected to begin at 2 p.m. ET.
