According to the Daily Mail, Mayweather, 49, will attend the event, although it remains uncertain whether he will address supporters or simply join the president as a guest.
The planned appearance comes amid a series of campaign events featuring well-known athletes, demonstrating how frequently sporting personalities have become part of Trump's public appearances.
Mayweather's association with Trump predates the president's current campaign schedule, with the former boxer having attended his first inauguration in January 2017.
The five-division world champion has remained publicly supportive of Trump, expressing particular admiration for his business background during a February 2025 appearance on Fox Business.
Speaking on Making Money with Charles Payne, Mayweather delivered an enthusiastic assessment of the president's record.
"When we had Trump before, we didn't appreciate him. But I think Trump is a great president, one of the, actually he's the best president," Mayweather said. "In my eyes, he's the best president we ever had."
Mayweather also praised Trump's experience in business, an area where the former fighter has developed his own extensive interests since retiring from professional boxing.
"Great business, great businessman, and that's what it's about," Mayweather added during the interview.
His comments attracted attention beyond political circles, including criticism from rapper 50 Cent, with whom Mayweather has maintained a longstanding public feud.

"There's no way in the world I would ever be here if it wasn't for a president like Donald Trump."
The president has also appeared alongside former NBA star Dennis Rodman, retired NFL coach Jon Gruden and boxer-turned-social media personality Jake Paul.
