Former boxer Floyd Mayweather returned to the ring this Saturday, May 21st, to face Don Moore in an exhibition fight in Abu Dhab, in the United Arab Emirates. The event was supposed to take place at the beginning of the month, but the death of President Sheikh Khalifa changed the plans.
The exhibition consisted of an eight round fight of two minutes each. The fight was not ruled a winner, however the 45-year-old former welterweight world champion put on a real show in the ring.
