In a recent Instagram post, Don Moore opened up about being in Abuja, Nigeria for the press conference ahead of his fight with Floyd Mayweather.

He captioned his post:

​

​

"It's an amazing feeling to be here amongst so many beautiful people."

The 30 second video he posted promotes the 8-round exhibition fight with Mayweather on May 14th, where they will fight in Dubai. Moore stated with confidence:

​

​

​

"I have the blueprint to beat Floyd Mayweather."

The video shows Moore arriving at the airport, posing for pictures with fans, and shadow boxing before the promotional poster of their fight.

Moore has only had one fight since 2013 (DeShaun Williams in 2016). However, as Mayweather's former sparring partner, he is confident he holds the key to defeating the legendary boxer.

Moore's career has spanned from 1999 to 2016, making him a certifiable veteran of the sport. However, the six-year layoff between fights may come as a disadvantage to the boxer. Some notable names he's fought include Paul Reyes, John Hoffman, Reggie Sanders, and Reymundo Hernandez.
