Floyd Mayweather is set to face his former sparring partner Don Moore in an exhibition fight this month, and more details are now emerging about the contest.
The bout is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 14 live from the helipad on top of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, UAE.
Mayweather is having an exhibition bout with his former sparring partner
The Burj Al Arab helipad overlooks Dubai and will host Mayweather's exhibition
As the fight is taking place in Dubai, the ring walk start time will be accommodating to the locals, rather than the US market.
The PPV stream is scheduled to get underway at 10pm local time (which is 7pm UK time and 2pm US Eastern Time).
It is unclear exactly when the main event will get underway, but due to the size of the undercard it can be expected between 1am-2am local time (which is 10pm-11pm UK time and 5pm-6PM US Eastern time).
The PPV is being broadcast globally by the streaming service LIVEnow.
It is currently on sale at what is being advertised as an 'early bird' price of £14.99 for UK viewers or $14.99 for US viewers.
This price will seemingly rise nearer to the fight date.
Anderson Silva is boxing on the undercard
Badou Jack is also back in action
The undercard for Mayweather's upcoming exhibition has also been confirmed.
It will feature UFC legend Anderson Silva in a bout with fellow Brazilian Bruno Machado.
Former super-middleweight world champion Badou Jack will return against Egyptian cruiserweight Hany Atiyo.
And former women's lightweight world champion Delfine Persoon is set to face rising Frenchwoman Elhem Mekhaled.
