The venue and date is still to be confirmed by Mayweather’s team.

He fought Gotti in June in Florida but the clash ended in a no contest after referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight in the sixth round due to excessive trash talking.

The event then descended into chaos as a huge brawl broke out between the two camps.

Prior to that Mayweather bossed the contest and toyed with his inexperienced opponent throughout.

Gotti, 30, is the grandson of infamous mafia boss John Gotti of the Gambino crime family, which was once described as America’s most powerful crime syndicate.
