Mayweather, 47, will face Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in June in an exhibition fight at the Telekom Center in Athens. Both fighters recently announced the news on social media. The exact date, weight or number of rounds have not yet been determined.
Greek Zambidis, 45, is an 18-time world champion kickboxer with titles in World Version W5, SUPERKOMBAT and K-1 tournaments. Nicknamed “Iron”, Zambidis has not competed since June 2015.
Mayweather vs. Tyson is tentatively scheduled for April 25 in an exhibition bout in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is a professional fight scheduled for September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, which will be streamed on Netflix.

The Zambidis fight makes Mayweather’s year even busier. He hasn’t competed three times in the same year since 2022, when he won three exhibition fights against Don Moore, Mikuru Asakura and Deji Olatunji.
