Not Kell Brook, not Amir Khan, but Andre Berto will be the next pugilist to take on Floyd Mayweather inside the ring.
Floyd Mayweather is officially set to slug it out with the interim WBA welterweight champion in September, so TMZ Sports are reporting.
The two fighter have been in talks for weeks, but apparently both camps have confirmed that it’s a done deal and the two will fight in Vegas on September 12th.
Berto (33-3) explained his delight at finally getting to take on Mayweather (48-0)
“It’s a pleasure and honor to be in this position and I’m looking forward to capitalizing on every moment of it”.
He may be ecstatic, but the fans will undoubtedly feel a little underwhelmed by this fight considering it’s the follow up to what was billed as the “Fight of the Century” against Manny Pacquiao.
