Floyd Mayweather vs Andre Berto

Sept. 12 at MGM Grand

​

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, four months removed from his historic victory against Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight in boxing history, said Tuesday he will return to defend his welterweight world titles against Andre Berto on Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs), who will be fighting at the MGM Grand for the 12th consecutive time, has repeatedly said the fight, which will be televised on Showtime PPV (8 p.m. ET), will be the final fight of his brilliant, 19-year career.

The bout is the last on a six-fight deal he signed with Showtime/CBS in 2013. With a victory, Mayweather can tie the milestone 49-0 record of the great heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano.

"I'm ready to get back in the ring on Sept. 12 and prove again to the whole world why I'm the best ever," Mayweather said. "I always bring my A-game, and this fight against Andre Berto is no exception.

He's a young, strong fighter who is hungry to take down the best. Forty-eight have tried before, and on Sept. 12, I'm going to make it 49."

Berto (30-3, 23 KOs), a two-time welterweight world titleholder who currently holds an interim belt, is just 3-3 in his past six bouts and viewed by many as an easy mark for Mayweather.

He is a massive underdog but said he plans to knock Mayweather off his undefeated perch.

"I'm coming to kick Floyd's ass on Sept. 12," Berto said. "Best believe that I plan to bring it to Floyd and I'm not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do. Somebody is getting knocked out, and it won't be me. You don't want to miss this."

Walking Mayweather to Ring

... For Berto Fight

​

Floyd Mayweather has one tough lady in his corner -- the NFL's first female coach Jen Welter -- who will follow in Justin Bieber's footsteps and walk the boxer to the ring to fight Andre Berto.

As we previously reported, Mayweather had already contacted Welter's people and offered her a pair of ringside seats to the bout ... claiming he's a big fan. Welter accepted and praised the boxer on social media.

Now, Welter's rep tells TMZ Sports ... the relationship has continued to blossom -- with Mayweather asking Welter to walk with his entourage on his way into the ring on Sept. 12th.

We're told Welter -- who was an intern with the Arizona Cardinals -- is excited ... and considers the whole thing an honor.

Mayweather is known for having celebs in his corner -- including Bieber, Lil Wayne and even the Burger King mascot.
