He officially retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, but did return a year later to topple featherweight Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition bout.

Mayweather fuelled talks of yet another comeback last November, after announcing online he was “coming out of retirement in 2020” to work with UFC boss Dana White on a “spectacular event”.

The American then revealed he spoke to White about rematching McGregor and fighting UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov on the SAME day.

But after the tragic death of his ex-partner and mother to three of his kids Josie Harris, and also the passing of his uncle and former trainer Roger, it was claimed Mayweather was re-evaluating his decision to fight again.

Despite the double tragedy, the multi-millionaire has continued training and even revealed his late uncle Roger had inspired him to become a trainer, as he took his son Kouran and nephew Chris on the pads.

During a tour in the UK, Mayweather maintained he would not return to fight an established boxer, insisting he had nothing to prove.

But another mega-money crossover bout, against either McGregor or Nurmagomedov, would “absolutely” tempt the 50-0 icon to lace up the gloves again.

Mayweather said last month: “Like I said before, I’m retired but I’m not retired from getting a couple of dollars.

“If I’m able to entertain the world and have some fun, and this is easy entertainment and I can make $600million with two guys, why not?

“At the end of the day, when that bank account and when that wire comes, my kids are going to be like, ‘Dad, I’m proud of you.’

“So I talked about this earlier; self-preservation comes first. I must take care of my home first, and I believe in creating generational wealth.

“So if I can go get $600 more million invested and leave it to my children and my grandchildren and my loved ones, why not? Absolutely.”
