Mayweather returns to ring against Berto
Print Edition
Floyd Mayweather Jr (48-0) will put his unbeaten record on the line when he steps into the ring to face Andre Berto in Las Vegas on September 12 in what could be the final fight of his career, it was announced on Tuesday.
Mayweather, who beat Manny Pacquiao in May in what was billed as the “Fight of the Century”, will risk his WBC and WBA welterweight world titles against the power-punching, two-time welterweight world champion Berto (30-3) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. A victory for Mayweather, 38, would match the record of the late heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, who retired in April 1956 with an unblemished record of 49-0.
In making the fight against 31-year-old Haitian-American Berto, a former Olympian, Mayweather snubbed Britain’s Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs). The Bolton battler has won his past five fights.
