Mayweather sets Maidana rematch for September

UNDEFEATED world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather will fight Argentina’s Marcos Maidana on September 13 in Las Vegas in a rematch of a narrow May triumph, the US fighter announced on Thursday.

Mayweather, 46-0 with 26 knockouts, will defend the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association titles against Maidana, 35-4 with 31 knockouts, as he did on May 3 by majority decision. The fight will be the fourth in a record six-bout deal with Showtime that has made Mayweather the highest-paid athlete in the world as he threatens the iconic 49-0 career mark of former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. Mayweather confirmed Las Vegas would be the venue despite his having earlier gotten a license to fight in the state of New York, sparking talk the bout might be staged in New York.
