Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwean gold dealer Scott Sakupwanya recently met former American boxer, Floyd Mayweather, during a visit to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Scott said he has been Mayweather\u2019s friend for a long time and their meeting in the Middles East was to finalise his appointment as Mayweather\u2019s official brand ambassador for Africa.<\/p>\n

Videos and pictures of the ZANU PF Harare Ward 21 councillor with Mayweather surfaced on social media over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Scott confirmed to The Herald that he was in Dubai to meet with potential investors. He said:<\/p>\n

I am here on a business trip to interact with various investors and particularly on a special invitation by Floyd Mayweather himself to watch his boxing match.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the match was cancelled and now we are busy with business.<\/p>\n

We have been close friends for a long time and I came to finalize my official appointment as his brand ambassador for Africa.<\/p>\n

I have invited him and he agreed to visit Zimbabwe hopefully before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

He intends to invest in Africa with Zimbabwe being one of his main destinations of interest.<\/p>\n

Mayweather was with his former boxing partner Don Moore and were scheduled for their exhibition fight on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel in Dubai, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The fight was later cancelled in the 11th hour following the death of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

UAE declared 40 days of mourning, starting last week on Friday. All work in the country\u2019s public and private sectors was cancelled for the first three days of that period.<\/p>\n
