It will be the second time that Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III face each other as part of an unofficial event.
It should be remembered that in June 2023, the boxer and the mixed martial arts fighter faced each other at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, United States. The fight did not conclude the scheduled 10 rounds, since in the sixth round, referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight due to excessive insults between both fighters.
The unforeseen stop caused annoyance in Gotti, who continued fighting even though the referee tried to stop him. His reaction generated a brawl in the ring after the corners of both sides, police and even Mayweather’s bodyguards intervened in the chaos.
