Veteran Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis will take on Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout this June in Athens, ahead of Mayweather’s September rematch with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.
Zambidis, 45, holds a 157-24 kickboxing record with 87 knockouts, and last fought officially in June 2015.
Mayweather, 49, announced his fourth return from retirement two weeks ago and described the Athens bout as preparation for his first professional boxing match in nine years.
“2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for me,” Mayweather said on Instagram.
“I’m on the way to entertain!! Athens, Greece, get ready. This summer will be a legendary battle.”
The Pacquiao rematch is scheduled for 19 September at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
