FLOYD MAYWEATHER has revealed he is planning to fight in an exhibition bout in February.
The 45-year-old’s last professional contest came back in 2017 when he moved to 50-0 with a comfortably victory over UFC star Conor McGregor.
Floyd Mayweather has been earnings millions through exhibition bouts
He easily beat YouTuber Deji, right, in November
But since hanging up the gloves as a pro, he has kept himself busy by raking in millions through exhibition contests.
He faced Don Moore in Abu Dhabi, Mikuru Asakura in Japan, and Logan Paul in the US.
Then in November, he beat KSI’s brother Deji in Dubai.
Now Mayweather, who never fought outside of America during his 21-year professional career, is talking up the possibility of coming to Britain next month.
He said: “In February we’re looking forward to coming here and putting on an exhibition for the fans in the UK, because I never had a chance to come over here and fight when I was actively boxing as a professional.
“So hopefully in February I’ll come over and do an exhibition if it’s possible.”
The comments come after he hinted at the prospect of an exhibition in Britain four months ago.
He told The Mail: “We don’t know [where the rest of my bouts will take place] but of course, if the price is right then I am on my way [to the UK].

“It’s always a few million a minute. From this exhibition [against Asakura] alone I will [be] making somewhere upwards of 15-20million dollars.
“That’s just from this exhibition. So, it’s cool. Nine minutes, 20 million, not bad.”
Although Mayweather never competed in the UK as a pro, he did beat legendary British boxer Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas in 2007.
His other biggest wins came against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana and Manny Pacquiao.
