Floyd Mayweather confirms next bout against Andre Berto in September
Floyd Mayweather announced his next fight Tuesday, posting a photo on his Instagram featuring himself and opponent Andre Berto.
Mayweather said the fight will take place Sept. 12 in Las Vegas; it will be the 38-year-old's 49th as a pro.
Mayweather is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight in boxing history. The May 2 fight was considered by some viewers to be underwhelming despite its massive revenue-generating results.
The Grand Rapids, Mich., native reportedly raked in $220 million for his match versus Pacquiao.
Berto had been rumored to be Mayweather's next adversary earlier this summer. Following Tuesday's announcement, Berto contributed a post of his own.
Berto, 31, boasts a 30-3 professional record with 23 of his victories coming by knockout.
