Boxing great Floyd Mayweather is scheduled to return to the ring this summer for a rematch against John Gotti III, the grandson of the late mob boss.
The 47-year-old first faced Gotti III in June 2023, and the fight ended in chaos after a fight broke out as people stormed the ring.
They were initially scheduled to meet again on Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, but now DAZN has announced that the fight will take place in Mexico on August 24.
‘#UnfinishedBusiness rematch on August 24 in Mexico City. This is something you don’t want to miss!!’ Mayweather wrote on Instagram alongside the fight poster.
The 47-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal career in professional boxing, winning all 50 of his fights between 1996 and 2017.

That culminated in a crossover fight against UFC star Conor McGregor, and the American has since had several exhibition fights around the world.
He has fought in Japan and London before facing Gotti III in Florida last June. Gotti is the grandson of former New York crime boss John Gotti, who died in 2002.
His first fight with Gotti was declared a no contest after referee Kenny Bayliss stopped the fight in the sixth round due to “excessive trash talking”.
But Gotti then pushed his way past the referee and continued throwing punches at Mayweather.
After the fight, Gotti didn’t stop shooting Mayweather. He took to Instagram to post: ‘Punk b***h @Floyd Mayweather.’ You are my enemy for life.
