Floyd Mayweather vs Don Moore CONFIRMED as boxing legend, 45, makes shock boxing comeback on top of helipad landing pad
FLOYD MAYWEATHER has CONFIRMED his latest return to the ring.
The boxing legend will face his former sparring partner “Dangerous” Don Moore on May 14 in Dubai.
They will fight in an eight-round exhibition bout on top of the Burj Al Arab Hotel HELIPAD.
The same idea was floated between Mayweather and 20-year-old YouTuber "Money Kicks" until talks broke down.
But it has now been announced the unbeaten American will take to the ring, 700ft above sea level.
Mayweather, 45, is also no stranger to Moore, 42, who was coached and mentored by his uncle Roger.

The pair also shared several rounds of sparring in the famed Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
Moore had an unbeaten record in his 19 bouts with a draw his only blemish, but has not fought since 2016.
Mayweather meanwhile officially retired with a perfect 50-0 record in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 33.
But he has twice returned since, in exhibitions against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 23, and YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, as recently as June.
Mayweather's spectacle bout with Paul - who weighed TWO STONE more - ended without a winner after no knockout was scored.
