The 45-year-old has agreed terms for a lucrative second affair with the Filipino 11 years on from there gargantuan dust-up in Las Vegas which the American won via unanimous decision.
Since then, Mayweather has ventured into the exhibition scene and returns there next weekend to tackle the dangerous kickboxing world champion Zambidis, who boasts a seriously impressive 158-24 record.
