Yesterday at the Landmark Hotel in London, media gathered to hear the official announcement of the 18th July Las Vegas mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Arriving in a red London double-decker bus, Mayweather and Marquez looked relaxed as they posed for photographs.

Mayweather – a six time world champion over five weight divisions – was tempted out of retirement to face Marquez – with an equally impressive record of five world titles in three weight divisions.

Also at the press conference, welterweight ‘Magic’ Matthew Hatton announced his next fight would be on the undercard against former welter and light welter world champion Zab Judah.
