Follow Us
All-time great, Floyd Mayweather is aiming for an in-ring return, a new YouTube video suggests.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is arguably the greatest defensive boxer of all time. The American has amassed incredible victories over some of the best athletes in the sport; for example, Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, Oscar De La Hoya, etc. His last fight was against UFC superstar Conor McGregor, in which he stopped the debuting boxer within 10 rounds.
Although he announced that the McGregor bout will be his last, Mayweather returned to the ring in an exhibition match soon after. He took on Rizin star, Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan. As expected, Mayweather dominated the fight.

Since his match with Tenshin, we haven’t seen Mayweather compete in a high profile bout again. However, that may soon change. A recent video published by World Boxing News shows the boxer honing his skills on the heavy bag.
Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana 3?
Mayweather teased a return when he was found sitting next to Dana White—President of the UFC—during an NBA game return last year. White claimed that he had a verbal agreement with the retired boxer. Now, it is unclear whether he wants to compete in an MMA ring or boxing ring.

Jorge Cali, who will face Maidana in an exhibition, said Maidana has the best chances of beating Mayweather.
“Maidana is still only 36 years old. He can definitely come back (to full-time professional boxing). He could even say, to improve his level. I know he would believe that if he had a new fight with Floyd, Marcos could win with no doubts this time,” Cali told WBN.
“I think we all saw the first fight and think he won it. That’s why there was that second one where Floyd proved to be the undisputed number one.” Cali added.
