However, he did not name an opponent. He was instead asked about his 19-year-old counterpart Money Kicks (real name Rashed Belhasa).
Mayweather, 44, said: "I spoke to [advisor] James McNair regarding Money Kicks.
"We don’t know much, but I believe that he’s from here so it would be wonderful. It’s going to be an extremely special crowd, and not too many people.
"If you have the chance to attend this event, you should know that you are very, very special."
"But the Kid Money Kicks is doing great and I like what I'll be seeing."
Money Kicks' record is just 2-0. White collar wins over unknown pairs Anas Elshayib & Ajmal Khan are the only two.

After beating Conor McGregor (33), in a lucrative crossover bout, the American officially gave up the gloves.
He has been back twice since then, first in an exhibition against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Naukawa (23).
Logan Paul (26), a YouTuber, took him the distance in June. He weighed TWO STONE MORE.
Mayweather insists that his time in boxing was over - in professional and spectator capacities.
However, it seems that the sport's richest fighter has had a second thought and now plans to bring several events to the Middle East.
He will begin by fighting on the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah’s HELIPAD in front of a small audience.
Mayweather previously disassociated himself from traditional boxing, and doubled down on the importance of this as entrainment rather than sport.
He stated, "Well, I don’t like to refer to what I’m doing as a fight. It's a limited-edition boxing showcase, which I prefer to call. Because it is more than boxing.
