Undefeated boxing kingpin Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0) will return to the squared circle this Saturday night (Sept. 12, 2015) when he faces off against unheralded welterweight bruiser Andre Berto (30-3) inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The pay-per-view (PPV) pugilists came face-to-face earlier today (Weds., Sept. 9, 2015) at the close of their final pre-fight press conference in "Sin City" (watch the video replay here).
Mayweather, 38, kept his perfect record intact by turning away Manny Pacquiao in what was billed as the "Fight of the Century" back in May. There was preliminary talk about an immediate rematch, but that quickly fell apart due to injury (among other things).
And "The Golden Boy" was apparently too tarnished to return.
The "Mayweather vs. Berto" undercard will also feature a WBC super middleweight title fight pitting Badou Jack opposite George Groves, while Roman Martinez and Orlando Salido rematch after their super featherweight "fight of the year" candidate back in April.
