JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather defeated his former sparring partner Don Moore in eight rounds on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. Uniquely, during the exhibition fight, Money asked the referee to extend the duration of the round.

The fight was supposed to take place last Saturday but was postponed following the death of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

The skill gap between the two boxers was evident as the fight progressed, with Mayweather using his speed to beat Moore.

Money continued to put on an exhilarating show and wink at the camera as he asked for an extra three minutes of rounds in the middle of a duel.

Moore was beaten by Mayweather, who got one of his best combinations in the fight in the fifth round. With only 30 seconds left in the fight, Mayweather knocked out Moore.

The former five-class world champion made sure to entertain the crowd by dancing with the ring girls and responding to the team's comments in the midst of the fight.

"I want to thank everyone in the UAE, the media, and everyone who covered this fight", Mayweather said after the final bell rang.

"This is one of the best countries in the world", he continued.

"Don Moore is still undefeated, we are both still unbeaten. I will bring another fight to the UAE this year. It's a secret. But we have an opponent. And I chose the UAE", continued Money.

One potential opponent for Mayweather's next exhibition duel is boxing legend Amir Khan, who announced his retirement after losing to Kell Brook in the final stages of the fight.

Mayweather, who is expected to earn around $100 million for his latest feat, recently told Khan that he shouldn't be retiring.
