Floyd Mayweather is keen to fight in India

Professional boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr on Monday said he is eager to participate in an exhibition fight in India this year and the possibility of an opponent from the host nation cannot be ruled out.

The 47-year-old former boxing champion boasts of a perfect 50-0 record in the professional circuit, which includes 27 knockouts.

"It's possible. I look forward to having an exhibition over here in 2024. We are looking for a solid name as a solid opponent," Mayweather told PTI over phone from Mumbai.

Since Mayweather is widely known in India, there could be several challengers who could come to the fore. Thus, let's see how this unfolds. In whatever case, whether he fights an Indian or not, Mayweather will surely pull a huge crowd in India should the planning propels.
