Overview
- DAZN announced on Wednesday that Floyd Mayweather will face Greek kickboxing star Mike Zambidis on June 27 at the Telekom Center in Athens as the main event of the 'Battle of the Legends' show.
- Organizers released an 18-fight card that mixes boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA and freestyle wrestling and includes named undercard bouts such as Octávio Pudivitr vs. Roamer Alexis Angulo.
- The Mayweather–Zambidis match is being presented as an eight-round exhibition with no judges and a stoppage that will not count on either fighter’s professional record.
- Zambidis is an 18-time kickboxing world champion with roughly 158 career wins and a high knockout total while Mayweather, 49, retired with a 50-0 pro record and has not fought a pro since 2017.
- Promoters frame the Athens show as ring time for Mayweather ahead of a proposed rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September and the event underscores the growing commercial trend of legacy exhibition cards that carry scheduling and broadcast uncertainty.
