"Coming out of retirement in 2020," the post read.

Mayweather last fought in a pro boxing match against UFC star Connor McGregor in 2017. He then figured in an exhibition match with kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa the following year.

The Las Vegas-based boxer has an immaculate record of 50-0, with 27 KOs.

A rematch between Mayweather and Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has long been speculated.
