Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will perform the draw for Prizefighter Light Welterweights.

Mayweather, widely regarded as the greatest fighter on the planet and the World pound for pound Champion, will be shown on Friday making the draw for the next Prizefighter event.

He will become another boxing legend to become involved in Prizefighter after Mike Tyson, Ricky Hatton and Chris Eubank, who have all performed draws in the past.

No boxers will be seeded for the draw so anyone could face anyone. It could lead to a number of mouth-watering fights as the competitors include some of the biggest British names in the division.

Prizefighter Light Welterweights takes place at the National Hall, Olympia, London on Friday, December 4 and the winner will collect £32,000.

This line-up is the strongest ever as former World Champion Gavin Rees is among the eight, as are Ted Bami, Colin Lynes and Jason Cook, who have all held European titles.

Former British Champions Young Muttley and David Barnes are also included, while undefeated youngster Michael Grant and highly-rated Barrie Jones complete a strong line-up.

Tickets cost £40 (unreserved) and £80 (reserved) and are available from See Tickets on 0870 903 9033, www.seetickets.com or from Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900. All the action will also be screened live on Sky Sports.

The full list of competitors is: Ted Bami (Brixton, London), David Barnes (Manchester), Jason Cook (Maesteg, Wales), Michael Grant (Tottenham, London), Barry Jones (Ferndale, Wales), Colin Lynes (Hornchurch, Essex), Young Mutley (West Bromwich, West Midlands), Gavin Rees (Newbridge, Wales).

You can watch Floyd Mayweather perform the draw for Prizefighter Light Welterweights during this week's Friday Fight Night on Sky Sports 1 from 9.30pm.
