Floyd Mayweather's unbeaten streak will continue next month when he fights Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
That isn't how the fight was officially announced, but it might as well have been.
Currently the 38-year-old Mayweather - who last fought back in May against Manny Pacquiao - is 48-0 in his career.
If he bows out after this next victory, as has been mooted, then he would equal Rocky Marciano's record of 49 fights unbeaten.

Given that there was a little bit of hope that Mayweather would be facing Amir Khan next, this is a wholly underwhelming fight.
Berto lost in recent years to two opponents who were dominated by Mayweather - Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero.
