“This Is Actually A Good Match For Floyd”: Days After Fight Debacle, Floyd Mayweather’s Next Potential Opponent Causes A Stir Among Fans

Who is going to be Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s next opponent? The former champion has for a while left his fans seeking answers to questions regarding his next entry into the squared circle for an exhibition bout. He is not just known for his brilliant boxing skills but also for his ability to create an element of mystique around his future plans.

In the last few months, he has on various occasions spoken vividly about possible fights in the near future. Conjecture amok, fans have awaited confirmation regarding his next high-profile fight.

Well, earlier when Mayweather was asked about his next exhibition match, the boxer had some interesting things to say. He said, “Another exhibition with a guy that’s in Canada. Who was fighting that light heavyweight, what’s his name? Used to be a champion.” Mayweather and his knack for teasing his fans, right?

However, the interviewer was not in the mood to leave his viewers in the dark. He asked the boxer if it was Jean Pascal that he was talking about. Shockingly, ‘Pretty Boy’ affirmed. He said, “Yes, so that name was brought up but I told them, the numbers weren’t right. So you got to get your numbers right. We’re just gonna move around lightly.” 

As Floyd continued to keep his fans on the edge of their seats in this guessing game, there are finally reports that hinted at his potential next bout.
