Floyd Mayweather to relinquish belts after defeating Manny Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather has announced his plans to relinquish his three welterweight titles after he beat Manny Pacquiao in what was pigeonholed as 'the fight of the century' in Las Vegas.

Mayweather moved his unbeaten record to 48-0 as he scooped the WBO welterweight title while retaining the WBA and WBC crowns.

He has indicated that he would relinquish all of his belts in order to give other boxers a chance of competing for the titles.

"I don't know if it's Monday, maybe in a couple of weeks," he said after the fight. "I'll speak to my team and see what we decide.

 

"I'm not greedy. The other guys need a chance. It is time they fight for the belts".
