Floyd Mayweather has announced he will face Australian boxer Matty “The Jedi” Floyd in a special exhibition match in Thailand. The fight, set to take place in Bangkok, will be held as a one-off event outside of official boxing sanctioning. Mayweather, 45, has not competed in a regulated fight since 2017 and has been active on social media promoting his return to the ring.
The match is expected to draw a large audience and will be broadcast live online. Matty Floyd, 28, is a rising name in Australian boxing, known for his technical skills and undefeated record. The event marks Mayweather’s first public return to boxing since his controversial retirement in 2017.
Mayweather’s last professional fight was against Conor McGregor in 2017, which ended in a controversial decision. Since then, he has focused on media appearances and training. This exhibition match is seen as a way to rekindle his boxing career and test his skills against a new opponent. The event is expected to highlight Mayweather’s continued influence in the sport despite his official retirement.
