With only a few days left to go until the super fight between unbeaten US boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and Filipino boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao, the third man in the ring on the fight night has been announced.
It was revealed on Tuesday that American professional boxing referee Kenny Bayless, who has refereed many contests involving Mayweather and Pacquiao, would be the one to referee the fight on May 2 in Las Vegas' MGM Grand.
Bayless refereed his first world title fight in 1994 and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business, the BBC reported.
The judges for the mega bout would be Burt Clements, Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman, whose first world-title fights were in 1989, 1981 and 1997 respectively, the report added.
