Floyd Mayweather has announced his return to boxing as he will take on John Gotti III in a rematch.
Back in June, the 46-year-old fought Gotti – the grandson of former New York crime boss John Gotti – in an exhibition fight.
The bout ended in a mass brawl when people stormed the ring following a controversial decision.
Referee Kenny Bayliss stopped the fight in round six due to ‘excessive trash talking’, prompting Gotti to force his way past the official and continue throwing punches at Mayweather.
Following the brawl Gotti would go on to continue taking shots at Mayweather. He took to Instagram to post ‘Punk b***h @Floyd Mayweather. You my enemy for life.’
