Exhibition fights have completely revolutionized the sport of boxing. Over the past few years, celebrities across various verticals have laced up their boxing gloves to fulfill their wish of fighting in the ring. Slowly and steadily, former boxing champs and icons also got on board with the trend. And, one of the greatest boxers of all time, Floyd Mayweather, too, is one name who actively takes up exhibition fights.
‘TBE’ retired in 2017 from the pro-boxing space.
However, his love for the sport prevailed over anything. That said, Mayweather went ahead with the ongoing trend and took up some notable exhibition bouts. Also, it seems, ‘Pretty Boy’ will lace up the boxing gloves once again in 2022 for another exhibition outing.

Mayweather might face the Mexican boxing legend, and one of the true GOATs, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Recently, Chavez Sr. was in an interaction with the media, wherein he said, “If Mayweather is down to fight me, then absolutely, let’s do it.”
“Mayweather told me he’s not his uncle, I told him it doesn’t matter, I’m still gonna beat your a**.”
In June this year, Mayweather locked horns with lanky YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul. There was a vast difference in the duo’s physical stats. However, the 50-0 boxer tried everything in his favor to make this fight worth the watch.
Furthermore, he even banked around $100 million for 16 minutes of action. Looking at Chavez Sr.’s interest in this fight and Mayweather’s comments, this fight might come to fruition.
