However, just a couple of hours after the announcement, Harrison announced that there would be no fight, since his leg was seriously injured.
Today Mayweather announced the name of a new opponent – a British ex-MMA fighter

In addition, last year
Chalmers debuted in professional boxing, defeating the Nicaraguan on points in 4 rounds with a record of 6-28-3.
“Originally, I was scheduled to fight another opponent, but injuries happen, and I’m glad that Aaron Chalmers was able to fill the vacant seat, and now we can give the fans what they want,” Floyd said on duty. “The fans in Britain have always been great to me and have supported me throughout my career, so an event like this has been waiting in the wings for a long time.”
“I train under Adam Booth and I’m looking forward to making a name for myself in the boxing world,” Chalmers said. “I jumped at this opportunity without hesitation, because it is a real honor to share the ring with one of the greatest fighters of all time.”
