WASHINGTON - Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. and "Sugar" Shane Mosley squared up in New York on Tuesday as they announced their WBA welterweight title bout, which will be fought in Las Vegas on May 1st.
Mayweather decided to battle Mosley after negotiations for a fight with pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao fell apart three weeks ago.
Mosley - unlike Pacquiao - has agreed to undergo random blood and urine testing, as has Mayweather after Mosley's anticipated title defence against Haitian Andre Berto fell through due to last month's 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti.
On Wednesday, Mosley visited FOX 5 studios in Washington, D.C. ahead of another scheduled press conference with Mayweather. When asked what Mayweather said during the New York announcement, Mosley said, "He was just telling me he's never lost before, 4 and 0 with no loses, and I was saying, well May 1st is going to be your first loss."
