The wait if finally over as undefeated Floyd Mayweather has revealed his opponent for his last fight before retirement.

Floyed will attempt to match Rocky Marciano’s record of 49 unanswered victories against Andre Berto on 12 September.

The former welterweight champion Berto has 30 wins and three losses before his bout with his fellow American.

Britain’s Amir Khan had hoped for a September bout with Mayweather, 38, after beating Chris Algieri in June.
