Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight Manny Pacquiao in a rematch fight in a year’s time, according to reports in the United States.
The American fighter beat the Filipino on points in a hotly-anticipated fight in Las Vegas on the weekend.
And now Mayweather is said to have told ESPN journalist Stephen A. Smith that we would be willing to fight Pacquiao again – once he recoveres from shoulder surgery to repair a tear in his rotator cuff.
“I will fight him in a year after his surgery,” Mayweather is reported to have told Smith in a text message.
The move is something of an about turn for Mayweather, who said after the fight: “My last fight is in September, and then it’s time for me to hang it up.”
