The Floyd Mayweather exhibition road show rolls on.

The 46-year-old Hall of Famer is scheduled to face professional boxer and MMA fighter John Gotti III – the grandson of reputed gangster John Gotti – on pay-per-view June 11 at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Fla. The promotion has been dubbed “Last Names Matter.”

This will be Mayweather’s seventh exhibition since his last sanctioned bout, and fifth within the past year.

He most recently was in the ring Feb. 25 in London against TV star and former MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers. He previously faced Tenshin Nasukawa (2018), Logan Paul (2021), Don Moore (May 2022), Mikuru Asakura (September 2022) and Deji Olatunji (November 2022).

Gotti, a 30-year-old New Yorker, is 2-0 (1 KO) against raw opponents as a professional boxer with fights this past October and January. He’s 5-1 in MMA under the CES banner.

Gotti’s grandfather was convicted head of the Gambino crime family in New York. He died in a prison hospital in 2002.

Musical performers Ozuna and Romeo Santos also will perform on the pay-per-view show.

Mayweather’s last sanctioned bout took place in August 2017, when he stopped UFC star Conor McGregor in 10 rounds. He has said he’s not interested in making a genuine comeback.
