Following his victory over Manny Pacquiao early last month, Floyd Mayweather‘s professional boxing career is edging closer to that iconic 50-0 mark (he’s currently 48-0).

Yesterday (June 4) Spike TV announced that Mayweather will be honored with the “TBE (The Best Ever)” award at the Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson-hosted Guys Choice 2015 award show, which is scheduled to air Thursday, June 18 at 9PM on SPIKE TV.

The news came via a press release, an excerpt of which can be read below (via Complex):

Spike TV announced today that Floyd Mayweather will be honored with the “TBE” (The Best Ever) award at the Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson hosted Guys Choice awards. The show has also added comedian, actress and activist Chelsea Handler and Academy Award®-nominated actress and cultural icon Salma Hayek to its star-studded lineup for “Guys Choice 2015.” Handler will be the first female ever to be awarded the coveted mantlers for the “Funniest M.F.” award.  Every guy’s mantasy Salma Hayek will receive the “Decade of Hotness” honor.

The entertainment channel has received a wave of criticism regarding its decision to hand Mayweather the award, primarily because of the boxer’s string of run-ins with the law, as well as domestic violence charges.
