It is already his third exhibition this year but Mayweather insisted he has barely broken a sweat.

He said: “I don’t ever really train that hard when it’s for an exhibition. But I look forward to going out there and just having fun.”;

Mayweather, 45, retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, but has had four exhibition bouts since.

He most recently knocked out Japanese MMA contender Miruku Asakura, 30, on a RIZIN bill.

That came after facing kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.

Mayweather and Moore were set to extraordinarily box on top of a hotel HELIPAD 700ft above sea level in May.

But the death of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan at 73 saw it scrapped and head to Abu Dhabi a week later.

Mayweather dominated the bout over the distance and returns to his happy hunting ground in the Middle East.

He said: “I’m happy to be back in the UAE.

“It’s always great to come here – so many beautiful people, peaceful country, and I am ready to go out there and entertain which is what I do best.”;

Mayweather added: “I am delighted to bring this incredible boxing experience to Dubai. I’m happy to be back.

“I couldn’t do it without my team. We’re a driving force as long as we continue to work together.

“On Sunday, the Mayweather entertainment team will give the people what they want to see.”;
