Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti Rematch Date, Location Set; 2023 Fight Ended in Brawl

Joseph ZuckerJun 16, 2024

Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced Saturday he and John Gotti III agreed to a rematch on Aug. 24 in Mexico City.

The pair previously fought in June 2023. The exhibition was ended in the sixth round. Gotti continued to throw punches at Mayweather after the stoppage, which sparked a wider brawl in and out of the ring.

Gotti, who's the grandson of the late New York mob boss John Gotti, told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour shortly after the event he was open to a return encounter. He said Mayweather might have a hard time turning down the idea based on how much attention they generated from their post-fight melee.

Mayweather previously announced the two would square off during the week of Super Bowl LVIII. However, that came to nothing.

The 47-year-old has maintained his retirement from boxing after beating UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017 and running his record to a perfect 50-0. Since then, he has scheduled a series of exhibitions, making no bones about the fact he's getting paid handsomely for much less work than would be required in an official fight.

Gotti got his combat sports career started in MMA, debuting in 2017 and compiling a 5-1 record before pivoting to boxing. He's 2-0 so far as a professional.
