Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III will square off in a rematch this weekend, more than a year after their first fight ended in a brawl.

Boxing legend Mayweather, a former multiple-weight world champion, fought Gotti III in Florida last June, with the referee stopping the fight in round six due to excessive trash-talking – resulting in a brawl in the ring.

Now Mayweather, 47, will fight the son of mafioso John Gotti II – himself the son of John Gotti, also a mafioso – in Mexico City. Gotti III has experience in MMA and boxing, and this contest, like his last against Mayweather, will be an exhibition fight.

In Mayweather’s previous exhibition outings, the American icon fought the likes of YouTubers Logan Paul and Deji and kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa.
