A New Opponent in Greece
Mayweather, who has been active in exhibition fights since retiring from professional boxing, shared the news on social media. He hyped the event, stating, “IT’S OFFICIAL. June 27 – Athens, Greece. History will be made.” He added, “I’m stepping in the ring with Mike Zambidis. One night. One stage. An all-out bout you don’t want to miss.”
Zambidis is a well-known figure in Greece, celebrated for his kickboxing career and multiple titles. However, his experience in professional boxing is limited, making this a unique matchup against the defensive master, Mayweather.
