After beating Manny Pacquiao in a fight many dubbed as the biggest in boxing history to remain undefeated, Floyd Mayweather revealed he has only one more fight left before he retires.
That bout, scheduled for September, which will be the last in a six-fight, 30-month contract with Showtime and CBS worth a potential $250 million, will be his last and it could be up against Amir Khan, according to the Guardian.

“I want to give other fighters a chance,” Mayweather said. “I’m not greedy. I’m fortunate to be a champion in two weight classes right now.

“I’m the undisputed welterweight champion. I have the WBC and WBA belt at super welterweight. I have the WBO, WBA and WBC at 147. It’s time to let other fighters fight for the belts.”

It is unclear who Mayweather’s next opponent will be but Amir Khan will be an odds-on favourite should he shine in an upcoming test against Chris Algieri.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
