At the beginning of the new year, ‘Money’ Mayweather spoke about his plans to get back in the ring. In an announcement he made via his social media handles, Floyd spoke about fighting in an exhibition match, in Dubai, in 2022.

Ever since the announcement, only one question has been looming in the mind of every fan. ‘Who will Mayweather fight?’ In a clip released from the same day he made his comeback announcement, Mayweather talks about a potential opponent.

“And you talk about Money Kicks. Oh yes, you know I spoke to James McNair before about Money Kicks. We don’t really know. I mean I think, since he’s from here, it’d be great. It’s gonna be a very special crowd, not too many people.” Mayweather said.
