Floyd Mayweather will
take part in an exhibition fight on February 20 on a helipad atop the Burj Al
Hotel in Dubai against an as yet unnamed opponent, Boxing Junkie reported on
Tuesday.
The Hall of Fame
boxer, who will turn 45 four days after the fight, has been targeting YouTuber
Reshad 'Money Kicks' Belhasa as his opponent, according to media reports.
Mayweather retired in
2015 but returned to defeat Conor McGregor in 2017 and improve his professional
record to 50-0.
His most recent fight
was an exhibition bout in June against YouTuber-turned boxer Logan Paul, which
ended in a tie.
"It's going to be
a very special crowd, not too many people," Mayweather was quoted as
saying.
"So if you get
the chance to come here, you must know, you're very, very special for this
event."
