Floyd Mayweather to return to the ring after announcing 'coming out of retirement in 2020'

Floyd Mayweather has announced a sensational return to the ring next year with an Instagram post declaring: 'Coming out of retirement in 2020'.

Mayweather's post was then reposted on Twitter by UFC president Dana White, after speculation in recent days the two were planning to work together.

The announcement by Mayweather will also fuel speculation he could be about to make the move into UFC.

He has previously suggested he would one day move into mixed martial arts in some capacity, although he has also said that boxing will always reign supreme over other combat sports.

Mayweather and White were seen taking in a basketball game together on Wednesday night, sending the rumour mill into overdrive.
