After Floyd Mayweather’s lackluster boxing showdown with YouTuber Logan Paul on June 6, 2021, the soon-to-be-introduced Hall of Famer has stated that this may be his last appearance in the ring. . However, after thinking more carefully, Mayweather changed his mind.

As first reported by TMZ Sports, the former five-division world champion will return to the ring on May 14, in an eight-round exhibition on the helipad in Dubai. To his opponent, Don “Dangerous” Moore, was called. Although Moore is unbeaten in 19 career fights, he’s spent most of his career running at the featherweight limit of 126 pounds.

In addition to Moore’s small stature, he will also have to fight a large amount of ring rust. At 42, Moore hasn’t stepped foot in the ring since scoring in the second knockout round against DeShaun Williams, who has a record of just 5-16. In fact, Moore, a native of Gary Indiana, has not scored against any of his opponents with a winning record.

While Mayweather will be the frontrunner, he won’t be the only notable name on the card. Also according to TMZ Sports, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will face Bruno Machado.

Since leaving the UFC’s octagonal circle and moving into the squared circle, Anderson has been brilliant. So far, the 46-year-old tennis player has recorded consecutive victories. Although he was expected to knock out his first-round knockout against fellow UFC fighter Tito Ortiz in September 2021, Silva had shocked many in the boxing community just three months earlier. , as he boxed his way to a clear decisive win over former champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Furthermore, former world doubles player Badou Jack, who will now compete in the cruiser class, will also be on the card.
