Mayweather, 42, is preparing to embark on a European tour in 2020 and it has now been confirmed he will kick it off on Thursday, February 27 at the 1,500-seater Lighthouse arena on the South Coast.
And the undefeated fighter, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, is ready to go one-on-one with those lucky enough to be in attendance when he holds a Q&A session.
“Money” will be delivering a live an unscripted interview with a host from the boxing world.
And other packages will also be available to attend a meet and greet session and have photographs with the former five-weight world champion.
IAM Events, alongside Goldstar Promotions, have organised the night that also includes an exclusive sporting memorabilia auction and raffle to win an item signed by the icon.
Ty Temel, of IAM Events, said: “This is not like a lot of people you could see walking down a shopping mall like you could with other sports stars.
“I am so excited to bring him here. It is a big thing to tick off on the bucket list for me and it was always a big dream of mine to book him.
“He is seen by some as the best boxer of all time and he is also known away from the sport.”
Mayweather defeated superstars such as Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton on his way to achieving legendary status.
His last fight came in August 2017 when he defeated UFC fighter Conor McGregor in Las Vegas with a 10th round TKO.
That was watched by an estimated global audience of 50 million people, helping Mayweather to earn an eye-watering £216 over the next twelve months.
Tickets for the event in Poole go on sale at 10am on Monday at www.i-amevents.com from £35.
