Floyd Mayweather said he is in great shape ahead of a boxing match in Athens against Mike Zambidis [1].

The bout represents a high-profile return to the ring for the boxing legend in Greece, drawing international attention to the regional sports scene.

Mayweather spoke with Euronews on June 25, 2026, to discuss his readiness for the encounter [1]. The fight was originally scheduled to take place on June 27, 2026 [1]. However, the event has since been postponed to September 2026 [2].

"I'm in great shape," Mayweather said [1].

While the specific reasons for the delay were not disclosed, the fighter remains focused on his preparation for the Greek opponent. The shift to September provides additional time for both athletes to finalize their training camps before meeting in the ring.

Mayweather has maintained a reputation for meticulous preparation throughout his career. This upcoming match in Athens is expected to be a significant draw for fans of the sport in Europe, regardless of the timing change [3].

“"I'm in great shape."”

The postponement of the bout suggests logistical or promotional hurdles, yet Mayweather's public assertion of his fitness is intended to maintain momentum and fan interest. By confirming his condition, the fighter ensures that the delay is not perceived as a result of injury or lack of preparation.
