JAKARTA - Julio Cesar Chavez wants to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two champions met at the World Boxing Council congress in Mexico a few days ago and joked about future exhibition fights.
The Mexican boxing legend revealed that he and Mayweather talked about the possibility of getting into the ring again. He said they could fight four rounds without a problem after retiring for a few years.
"(Mayweather) wanted us to have an exhibition duel, but I told him I'm not up for that kind of thing anymore. Let's see if that happens. Maybe I can fight four rounds with him," said Chavez as reported by MARCA, Tuesday, November 23.
Chavez assured that he could beat Money - Mayweather's nickname - even though he has an unbeaten record. Chavez also remembers Roger Mayweather, Money's uncle, an opponent he defeated twice.
"I'm not my uncle," said Money, challenging the former Mexican champion.
"That's not a problem, I'll finish you off," Chavez replied.
Although the exhibition has yet to be confirmed, Chavez and Mayweather are open to making the fight happen. And of course, this news shocked everyone present at the event.
WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman, even immediately gave an estimate of the date and place of the fight. Solomon said the duel would take place in 2022 in Texas or Mexico.
