Las Vegas (September 12, 2018) Mayweather Promotions has taken their participation in this year’s Box Fan Expo up a notch as the proud sponsor of the Inaugural Box Fan Expo Invitational, where several top seeded USA Boxing amateur fighters have been invited to faceoff against the best in their respective divisions.

I want to thank Mayweather Promotions and Floyd Mayweather for sponsoring the Inaugural Box Fan Expo Invitational, and Fernando Vargas Fighting Foundation for organizing the amateur show.
