Judge has agreed to delay prison sentence until June

Floyd Mayweather has reportedly had his prison sentence delayed until June in order to keep a May fight date in Las Vegas. Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days after pleading guilty to reduced battery domestic violence and harassment charges in December, and had been due to report to jail on January 6. But a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal claims a judge has agreed to delay the sentence until June 1 to allow Mayweather to fulfil his contractual obligations for a fight on May 5. The 34-year-old American, who has held world titles in five weight divisions, has also been ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $1,600 fine.
