Floyd Mayweather announces that he will fight on helipad atop Burj Al Hotel

Floyd Mayweather is all set to make his return to the boxing ring. This time around, the legendary boxer will be in action atop the iconic Burj Al Hotel in Dubai. The exhibition bout is scheduled to happen on February 20, 2022, and reports suggest that Floyd is planning to have YouTuber Reshad ‘Money Kicks’ Belhasa as his opponent.

“February 20th, we haven’t chosen an opponent yet but I look forward to it and hopefully we give you guys something to see. It’s going to be a very special crowd, not too many people. So if you get the chance to come here, you must know, you’re very, very special for this event,” Mayweather noted (h/t MMA Junkie).

Mayweather was last seen in action back on June 6, 2021, when he fought YouTuber Logan Paul. A lot of controversies have stemmed from the fight with the latest one being Logan Paul accusing Mayweather of not completing the payments.

Interestingly, Mayweather will be turning 45 just days before the event. The Helipad atop Burj Al Hotel had earlier hosted some huge names from the sporting circuit. Anthony Joshua had held an open workout at the venue when tennis stars Roger Federer and Andre Agassi had an exhibition match as well.
