It seems that Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring this year. Since his retirement, he has participated in major exhibitions with opponents such as Logan Paul and John Gotti III. At 50 years of age, he still has the same desire to get into the ring, and his next target could be KSI, content creator and one of the founders of Prime.
Convincing Mayweather Jr does not seem to be such a complicated task, if the money is good, surely he and his team will give the go-ahead for the fight to take place during 2025.
The offer on the table for Floyd?
Jeff Mayweather, the boxer’s uncle, spoke in an interview with Fred Talks Fighting about when “Money” next exhibition will be:
“I have no idea. I mean, like I said, I don’t necessarily see that he can do it. We don’t really get a chance to talk much and so I don’t really know what’s going on with him,” were Jeff’s words.
After a couple of confessions, the hosts got the name of KSI, as a possible rival to Floyd’s uncle, there he gave some statements that will give something to talk about
“That’s a fight that could possibly happen,” he said
“Somebody’s gonna have to start making some noise for the exhibition to take place because I think the longer Floyd waits, I think he’ll just say I’m finally retired,” Jeff Mayweather insisted
KSI vs Mayweather: Big money fight
The rivalry between these two already has a history dating back to 2022. Floyd faced Deji, KSI’s younger brother, where “Money” ran over the amateur fighter and something inside the content creator was left with a tremendous desire to avenge his brother.
On the other hand, Jeff, Floyd Mayweather’s uncle, in another interview with SunSport, does not see anyone from the social media guild beating his nephew:
“There is no YouTube fighter on the planet that can beat Floyd, I don’t care what weight they are. They’re not going to be Floyd. He’s a fighter, he still runs, every now and then he’s still in the gym. It’s been his life. It’s ingrained in him,” he told this outlet.
Floyd Mayweather’s last exhibition was against John Gotti lll in August last year, while KSI did not set foot in a boxing ring again after losing to Tommy Fury in October 2023
Today, it seems that both are far from fighting, however, a big purse could change their minds. More so on Floyd’s side, who could start the year negotiating with Saudi Arabia for an exhibition in Riyadh.
