Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition boxing career is set to continue this Saturday as he faces off against John Gotti III in a highly anticipated rematch. The first encounter between these two fighters in June 2023 ended in chaos when a brawl erupted after referee Kenny Bayless halted the fight in the sixth round. As they prepare to step into the ring once again, boxing fans worldwide are eager to see what unfolds in this sequel.
In their first bout, Mayweather showcased his legendary boxing skills, controlling the match with precision. However, tensions escalated when Gotti received repeated warnings for rough conduct. This led Bayless to stop the fight, but the drama didn’t end there. Gotti, refusing to accept the stoppage, launched an attack on Mayweather, who responded in kind. The situation quickly spiraled out of control as both fighters’ camps stormed the ring, resulting in an all-out brawl that forced the arena to be evacuated.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. brings his flawless 50-0 record into the ring, with 27 of those victories coming by knockout. In contrast, John Gotti III has a 2-0 record, with one of those wins by knockout. While Mayweather has a slight power advantage, boasting a 54% knockout rate compared to Gotti’s 50%, Gotti holds a height advantage of three inches over the 47-year-old Mayweather. Despite this, Mayweather’s extensive experience and tactical expertise make him the clear favorite.
Both fighters adopt an orthodox stance, but Mayweather’s career longevity and experience are unmatched. He has fought 48 more bouts and logged 386 more professional rounds than Gotti, who only made his debut in 2022.
Mayweather remains unbeaten, even in his post-retirement exhibition matches. His last fight against Gotti on June 11, 2023, ended in a no contest after the brawl. Prior to that, Mayweather’s bout with Aaron Chalmers on February 25, 2023, also ended in a no contest. However, Mayweather’s previous exhibition fights, including a knockout victory over Deji in November 2022 and another knockout win against Mikuru Asakura in September 2022, showcase his continued dominance in the ring.
The rematch between Mayweather and Gotti will take place at the iconic Arena CDMX in Mexico City. Known for hosting major sporting and entertainment events, Arena CDMX will provide the perfect backdrop for this high-stakes rematch.
The Mayweather vs. Gotti 2 event will feature a stacked undercard, including matchups such as:
Now, just a few months later, Mayweather and Gotti will face off once more at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. While the animosity from their first encounter seems to have cooled, the intensity of the rematch remains high. Mayweather, the undefeated boxing legend, retired from professional competition in August 2017 after defeating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, closing his career with a flawless 50-0 record. Since then, he has participated in seven exhibition bouts, including the infamous match against Gotti.
John Gotti III, grandson of notorious crime boss John Gotti, enters the ring with a record of 2-0, including one knockout. Although his experience pales in comparison to Mayweather’s, Gotti’s family legacy and determination make him a formidable opponent.
In addition to the headline event, the undercard features several exciting matchups. Veteran boxer Victor Ortiz, 37, will return to the ring against Argentina’s Rodrigo Damian Coria. Ortiz has not fought since May 2022 when he secured a unanimous decision victory over Todd Manuel, despite being knocked down in the 10th round. This exhibition bout offers Ortiz a chance to prove he still has what it takes to compete at a high level, while Coria seeks to make a name for himself on the international stage.
