American boxer Floyd Mayweather will soon become a Citizen of Russia.

The world champion in five weight classes told that he is already looking for a place to live, but despite this, he very much hopes that he will succeed in his new homeland.

"I spoke with my Russian team and am looking forward to receiving Russian citizenship. I had the opportunity today to see the property. I'm looking for a new home in Russia, but all this, of course, takes time.

I believe that the future will be bright for me. I believe that in the banking business we will raise everything to a new level. We will continue to work hard, and as long as I believe how I believed in my career, everything can happen, "Mayweather quotes Rossiya 24 as saying,.

Recall that Mayweather held for his career 50 fights in which he did not suffer a single defeat. His last fight was in late August 2017 against UFC champion Conor McGregor.
