Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti III has been announced as Mayweather’s next exhibition bout. The pair previously fought on 26 April 2023 with the match ending in John Gotti III being disqualified in the sixth round. Experienced referee Kenny Bayless ended the contest due to Gotti’s relentless trash-talking, which was followed by the ring being invaded and a mass brawl between Mayweather and Gotti’s teams.
