Floyd Mayweather has confirmed his decision to end his boxing career, after he earned a unanimous decision over Andre Berto,
The three ring side
judges all ruled in Mayweather’s favour: 118-110, 117-111 and 120-108. The
American said afterwards: “My career is over. It’s official.”
Mayweather has now
equalled the perfect 49-0 record of heavyweight legend, Rocky Marciano, and
retains his WBA and WBC titles.
“I want to thank all
the fans… for 19 years I would not be able to do it without these fans,” he
said.
“But you have to know
when it’s time to hang it up. I’m knocking at the door; I’m nearly 40 years old
now.
“There’s nothing else
to prove in the sport of boxing. I’m leaving the sport with all my faculties;
I’m still sharp and smart.”
Mayweather, who
reportedly banked at least $70million from the fight, also insisted he is the
best ever, because he is always “one step ahead of any fighter”.
