The future of combat sports runs through the Professional Fighters League. In the U.S., the PFL regular season has come to an end. PFL Europe, a standalone regional league, continues with its second event on July 8/July 9.
PFL Europe 2 airs on DAZN in select countries (outside the U.S.) and emanates from Verti Music Hall in Berlin, Germany. The divisions featured include lightweights and bantamweights.
The main event will be Francesco Nuzzi vs. Farbod Iran Nezhad in bantamweight action. Nuzzi (9-1) turned pro in 2016. The Italian has competed for Italian Fighting Championship and BRAVE CF. His first fight with the PFL in 2022, against Moktar Benkaci, was deemed a no-contest due to an eye poke. That ended his 10-fight unbeaten streak.
Nezhad (11-2) turned pro in 2012. Competing for the likes of RFC, Swiss MMA Championship, and Brave CF, the fighter born in Germany is on a three-fight win streak. His last bout was a unanimous decision win in June 2022 against Darko Banovic.

What time is Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III today? Schedule, main card start time for 2023 exhibition boxing fight – Sporting News

Published

on





Floyd Mayweather once again steps inside the ring to compete in an exhibition fight. This time, he faces someone with legit combat sports experience and a last name nobody will ever forget. Mayweather faces John Gotti III, the grandson of infamous gangster John Gotti, on June 11.
The fight is inside the FLA Live Arena in Florida and airs on the Zeus Network. 
Gotti turned pro in 2017. Winning five in a row to start his MMA career, Gotti lost his last fight in 2020 against Nick Alley. The 30-year-old has since competed in boxing bouts, winning two contests in the past eight months.
Calling this fight a “pinch-me moment,” Gotti has nothing but respect for Mayweather. However, he will not let his fandom get in the way of what he needs to do.

“I’ve been following him since I was eight years old,” Gotti said via Boxing Scene. “This was my idol. This was a guy I did school projects on. It was a guy I looked up to. The fact that I’m in a position to stand across the ring from Floyd is a tremendous honor. But make no mistake, June 11, I’m bringing bad intentions to that man. I don’t care if it’s an exhibition or not. You signed to fight me, there’s no quarter. It’s kill or be killed.”
This is the latest exhibition for Mayweather, who retired in 2017 at 50-0. In 2018 he teamed with RIZIN and beat young kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa via TKO. Mayweather fought Logan Paul and former training partner Don Moore in non-scored bouts. He beat Mikuru Asakura and YouTuber Deji in 2022 via TKO. In February, Mayweather went the distance against MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers.
Here is all you need to know regarding Mayweather vs. Gotti, from the time, channel, and card.
Mayweather vs. Gotti begins at 6:30 p.m ET | 3:30 p.m. PT. Ringwalks are scheduled for 10 p.m. ET | 7 p.m. PT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
