Meanwhile, plans are already underway for another major event later this year. Mayweather's professional rematch with Manny Pacquiao is scheduled for September. Having hung up his gloves after dominating the sport, Mayweather looks determined and ready to make a strong impression with these fights.
Mayweather recently spoke about his upcoming schedule. He remarked:
"2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for me... This summer will be a legendary battle June is the month where history will be made."
Fans learned of a potential exhibition originally planned against Mike Tyson last spring. However, participants replaced the opponent with Zambidis instead, bringing fresh energy and excitement to this summer event.
Mike Zambidis brings his own story of retirement followed by a comeback. He retired back in 2015 after winning against Steve Moxon but returned to competition in 2019 despite struggling with hand injuries during a bout against Antonio Gomez.
With both fighters having unique journeys and comebacks fueling their latest efforts, boxing enthusiasts can certainly look forward to Mayweather's glitzy return over the summer and true fireworks in Greece.
