Former world champion Floyd Mayweather squared off against John Gotti III in a noteworthy exhibition fight held on Saturday night in Mexico City.

The 47-year-old Mayweather took on Gotti in an eight-round bout, void of judges, at Arena Ciudad de Mexico.

This fight served as a rematch, following a massive brawl that occurred in Florida last June.

Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2017 with an unblemished record of 50 wins, dominated the fight from the second round after calling for a change of referee.

By the bout's end, Mayweather and Gotti III shared a respectful embrace in the ring, despite a chorus of boos from the spectators.

Mayweather is heralded as one of the finest boxers in history, securing world titles across five weight divisions over a 21-year career. His notable victories include triumphs over Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De la Hoya, Shane Mosley, and Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez.

In his post-retirement exhibition career since 2018, Mayweather has faced three Japanese fighters and notable internet personality and wrestler, Logan Paul, along with Gotti.
