Two legend's of the ring may collide in an exhibition match next month, as rumors of a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Julio Cesar Chavez begin to pick up.
In the modern era of boxing, fans have come accustomed to seeing strange matchups, usually involving social media influencers. But now, if Chavez's words are anything to go by, the combat sport world will have something to get excited for.
According to boxing icon Julio Cesar Chavez, a fight between himself and Floyd Mayweather could be right around the corner. Chavez hinted at the bout on his Instagram page, claiming that the clash will unfold on September 16.
Boxing fans rejoice at the thought of a Floyd Mayweather vs. Julio Cesar Chavez super-fight, but it's likely too late for the affair to be competitive.
Chavez is 15 years Mayweather's elder, and at 62 years old, is unlikely to possess even close to the amount of talent he had during his mesmerizing heights back in the mid '90s.
Despite retiring from professional boxing in 2005, the Mexican has ventured into the exhibition side of the sport. Chavez has competed as recent as 2021 and will be hoping to put on a show for the fans if the September 16 Mayweather event does go ahead.
