Last Saturday, Floyd Mayweather was supposed to fight against his sparring partner Don Moore in a boxing fight on a helipad in Dubai. In the end, however, the fight was canceled just a day before the event due to the fact that the UAE’s President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan had passed away. In the aftermath of this news, the entire government was shut down, and the fight was ultimately postponed.
Over the last week, Mayweather and his team have been figuring out a way to make sure the fight still goes on. It had been confirmed that a rescheduling was, indeed, imminent, however, no one knew for sure whether or not it would go down soon or somewhere in the distant future.

This is good news for the fans, who are certainly eager to see just how good Floyd is at his current age.
