Team USA stars Anthony Davis and Anthony Edwards will be part of Floyd Mayweather’s entourage when the boxing legend takes on John Gotti III, TMZ Sports reports.

The pair of NBA All-Stars are just weeks away from winning gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The United States made up for its fourth-place finish at the 2023 FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup by winning for the fifth time in a row.

Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record, has found a lucrative way to compete in unofficial matches.

The 47-year-old last faced Gotti in June 2023. The event ended in a draw and culminated in a brawl in the ring after the final bell.

Gotti, the grandson of late New York mob boss John Gotti, began his fighting career in mixed martial arts, going 5-1 before turning to boxing. As a pro, he has won the likes of Albert Tulley and Alex Citrowske.

Mayweather and Gotti resume hostilities in Mexico City on Saturday.
