Floyd Mayweather says he's looking forward to a "beautiful event" ahead of his exhibition boxing match in Dubai this Saturday, May 14.
The former five weight world champion, who retired with a 50-0 record, takes on the also undefeated Don Moore, an old sparring partner, in the headline clash of the inaugural Global Titans Fight Series.
The American has fought in exhibition bouts since beating UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017, stopping kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa a year later and going the distance with YouTuber Logan Paul last June.
Moore, also American, nicknamed “Dangerous”, won his last two contests via stoppage and has 12 knockouts to his name overall.
On the undercard of Mayweather vs Moore, former UFC champion Anderson Silva continues his boxing venture and Sweden’s Badou Jack will also be in action.
Taking place on the Burj Al Arab Helipad, the "Showcase in the Skies of Dubai" will make history as the world’s first NFT pay-per-view sports event.
