Floyd Mayweather confirms 2022 boxing return with potential YouTuber clash Instagram: floydmayweather \/ Instagram: rsbelhasaFloyd Mayweather is stepping back into a boxing ring once again in 2022 as the combat sports icon has teased a new exhibition bout with yet another YouTube star. Since Mayweather\u2019s retirement in 2017, a number of unique showcases have followed over the years. His latest in 2021 saw him standing across the ring from social media celebrity Logan Paul. While the pair continue to bicker to this day, Mayweather now appears to have a new opponent in his sights. After a few months on the sidelines, the 50-0 boxing legend has confirmed an upcoming appearance in Dubai. On Sunday, February 20, on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel, Mayweather is set to compete. Who\u2019s to be his opponent? Nothing is locked in just yet, but one name, in particular, has piqued his interest. 20-year-old YouTuber Reshad \u2018Money Kicks\u2019 Belhasa is currently the frontrunner to face Mayweather in Dubai. The popular social media figure holds a 2-0 amateur record with both wins coming over fellow internet personalities. \u201cI think since he\u2019s from here, it would be great,\u201d Mayweather said in a January 3 press conference. \u201cThe kid Money Kicks is doing great things and I\u2019m liking what I see.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m ready if you are,\u201d Belhasa soon followed up to more than two million followers on his Instagram account. \u201cLet\u2019s make sure the bag is right.\u201d Although contracts haven\u2019t been signed, Mayweather doubled down on his intention to perform on the card. Careful not to label it a \u2018fight,\u2019 he expressed his desire to host another \u201climited edition boxing showcase,\u201d as he called it. View this post on Instagram \u201cIt\u2019s bigger than just boxing,\u201d Mayweather added. We want to give the people some entertainment. I look forward to it.\u201d A contest against Belhasa would mark a 24-year age gap, the largest in his career since Mayweather competed against Japan\u2019s Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
