If Floyd Mayweather Jr. suddenly popped up and said, ‘Oh, I wanna fight,’ would anyone be shocked? Probably not. That’s because boxing has a long history of legends hanging up their gloves, only to lace them up again. Just look at Roy Jones Jr. or even the legendary George Foreman. The man took a 10-year break from the ring, then came back and became the oldest heavyweight champion in history at 45. Now, if the rumors about Money Mayweather are true, he may have considered making a return against a former unified champion not too long ago.
This whole buzz started two days ago when a post from Hassan on X made some wild claims. “Floyd Schofield said they were OFFERED to fight George kambosos for June but they said no because “he’s not good enough” they want that’s top 5,” the post read. Hassan, in the comments section, clarified that the source of the revelation was Millcity Live. Naturally, the post stirred up some debate. But things really got wild when George Kambosos Jr. himself jumped into the debate. Instead of confirming the Floyd Schofield fight negotiations, he dropped a bombshell: “Brahhh you just making sh*t up. I actually was offered Floyd Mayweather, not some guy from Prison Break 😘.”
According to Kambosos, rather than being offered a fight against a rising lightweight prospect, who backed out of a bout with Shakur Stevenson last month in Riyadh, he was actually approached for a showdown with none other than Floyd Mayweather himself. And the next day, his comment gained even more attention when Naji of Cigar Talks asked him to clarify what he had earlier revealed.

He asked Kambosos, “Wait? Mayweather wanted a comeback fight against you Kambo?” Immediately, a reply from the 31-year-old Aussie came back. And this time, the answer was even more precise. “Yes, in Australia big stadium fight 😉,” the former unified lightweight champion revealed.
Yes in Australia big stadium fight 😉

Floyd Mayweather officially bowed out of pro boxing after his blockbuster fight against Conor McGregor. Since then, he’s been on a world tour of exhibition bouts, taking on names like Logan Paul, John Gotti III, and Tenshin Nasukawa—all while raking in millions without breaking a sweat. Now, every once in a while, whispers of a pro comeback pop up, but Mayweather himself usually shuts them down.
But let’s be real for a second—if the 48-year-old actually decided to lace up the gloves again after eight years, he’d be making history. Sure, Mayweather insists he’s all about real estate and business these days, but let’s not kid ourselves. We wouldn’t be shocked if he returned to the ring. And you already know why. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are more than 30 years apart, and still, they fought. Why? Money! Pure and simple. So, wouldn’t Money Mayweather think about making a return, albeit for an exhibition fight, if the numbers are right? Floyd Mayweather is just 17 years older than Kambosos. So if this fight ever could happen, the boxing world would be more than up for it, even if it’s just for entertainment.
Now, whether this was a real offer or just an exaggeration on Kambosos’ part, we don’t know. But here’s what we do know—George Kambosos Jr. already has his sights set on one opponent.
What’s your perspective on:
Would a Mayweather vs. Kambosos fight reignite your passion for boxing, or is it just a cash grab?

Floyd Mayweather or not, George Kambosos Jr. is busy at the moment
A few days ago, Everything Boxing dropped a bombshell on X. “🚨 HITCHINS-KAMBOSOS NEXT! ✅ Eddie Hearn has said that they have a date for the Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos IBF super lightweight world title fight.🤝 If Kambosos is ready for that date and agrees a deal, the fight is on,” the caption on the post read.

NEW YORK, NY – NOVEMBER 27: George Kambosos Jr.during his fight with Teofimo lopez for the Undisputed Lightweight title at The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 27, 2021 in New York, New York Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire BOXING: NOV 27 Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr Icon211127455
Honestly, this matchup just makes sense. Hitchins, fresh off snatching the IBF title from Liam Paro last December, might be gearing up for another Aussie challenge. And naturally, Kambosos’ team would love to bring the fight to Australia—big crowd, big money, the whole package. But let’s be real, the Sydney native isn’t the type to stay in his comfort zone. The guy went to war in enemy territory before, and if he has to do it again, he will. Plus, both fighters are under Matchroom Boxing. So there’s really nothing stopping this from happening.

And George Kambosos is feeling particularly confident after his win over Jake Wyllie last week. But let’s not forget—Wyllie was a last-minute replacement with zero real prep time. Meanwhile, Hitchins is undefeated. But according to Kambosos, he’s not all that special. And yes, he’s already thrown shade at him, calling him “Sh*t-chins.” Shots fired.
Do you think Floyd Mayweather would actually have returned for a fight against George Kambosos Jr., or is this just hype? Can George Kambosos Jr. take down Richardson Hitchins, or is he biting off more than he can chew? Do let us know your thoughts below.
