Floyd Mayweather and KSI tag-team match against Manny Pacquiao and TikTok star Salt Papi ‘officially in the works’

FLOYD MAYWEATHER and KSI are teaming with a tag-team boxing match against Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi “officially in the works”.

KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner debuted the tag-team concept in early March and it proved a hit among their crossover fanbase.

Now, according to Happy Punch Promotion, the stakes have been raised by trying to involve boxing royalty.

They claim a tag-team match with Mayweather and KSI against Filipinos Pacquiao and Salt Papi is officially being discussed.

Salt Papi – a 3-0 influencer boxing star who shot to fame on TikTok – is promoted and managed by Happy Punch.

Mayweather, 46, beat Pacquiao, 44, in 2015 in the most lucrative fight of all time, grossing over £500million with 4.4m pay-per-views sold in America.

But even with the pair of legend still fighting in exhibition bouts, a rematch has always been evaded.

Mayweather has boxed in six exhibitions since officially retiring in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record following victory over UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

And he has faced two YouTube stars in Logan Paul and KSI’s brother Deji.

Mayweather most recently faced Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers in February and has confirmed FIVE upcoming exhibitions.

KSI, 29, is set to fight again on May 13 in London against millionaire businessman-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier.

And Salt Papi, 29, wants to fight the British social media, rap and celebrity boxing star himself.
