Floyd Mayweather to face John Gotti III, son of gangster, in exhibition in June

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 son of gangster John Gotti – on pay-per-view June 11 at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The promotion has been dubbed, “Last Names Matter.”

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

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

Gotti, a 30-year-old New Yorker, is 2-0 (1 KO) against raw opponents as a professional boxer, in October and January. He reportedly has a record of 5-1 in MMA.

The elder Gatti was the head of the Gambino crime family in New York. He died of cancer in a hospital for prisoners 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.
