    Floyd Mayweather has no intentions of stopping his boxing exhibition roadshow after confirming five more fights on a global tour in 2023.

    "Money" Mayweather retired with a perfect 50-0 record in 2017 but has continued to dominate exhibition contests ever since. Last month's exhibition against Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers flopped as the boxing legend was reduced to fighting in a half-empty O2 Arena in London.

    But Mayweather, 46, told critics to "stay in your lane" as he labelled his eight-round fight against the TV personality a "16 minute heist."

    And he has now revealed on a new Instagram promo that his so-called "Heist Exhibition Tour" will make stops in South Korea, Germany, Japan, Australia and the USA this year.

    "This is what my 2023 looks like so far,' his post read. "Five exhibitions in five countries in nine months. And if any of these exhibitions don't happen, I still get paid. I'm the most active hustler in boxing, my money is guaranteed."

    Five-division world champion Mayweather is yet to announce his opponents on the tour, but has long been rumoured to take to the ring against Youtuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul.

    'The Problem Child' has previously called out Mayweather, who has already fought his brother Logan in a money-spinning exhibition bout.

    However, it seems unlikely the duo will ever do battle, with Paul now pursuing a professional career in the sport and Mayweather more than happy to rake in huge sums in exhibition contests.

    "We spoke to Jake Paul before and we can only do an exhibition because of the weight disadvantage," Mayweather said last month.

    "I’m not chasing it anymore. I have accomplished everything I could in boxing. We have so many young fighters in boxing today.

    "Give them a chance to go out there so they can shine. It’s not about Jake Paul, it’s not about Floyd Mayweather. I’m going to entertain the people so support me and my opponent."
