Floyd Mayweather has danced with a group of Mariachi musicians who played for the boxing great as he arrived in Mexico for his rematch with John Gotti III.
Fifty fights undefeated during his professional career, Mayweather is heading to Mexico City’s Arena CDMX for his latest exhibition bout, where he will meet John Gotti III after a chaotic contest between the pair in June 2023.
“I am very grateful to be [in] a place full of history and world champions,” said the 47-year-old five-division titlist.
“It is an honour for me to fight in this country that has given so much to the world of boxing. See you soon in the ring.”

Mayweather vs John Gotti II
In scenes familiar to fans who have watched Mayweather in exhibition bouts, the American toyed with Gotti during their first fight in Florida.
Tensions had been boiling before the showdown of eight two-minute rounds, spilling over into mass brawls when the fight was waved off in the sixth.
Mayweather is now said to be looking to “vanquish” Gotti, who has two wins from two as a professional and is the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.
