Floyd Mayweather retired from boxing in 2017 undefeated after giving Olympic boxing lessons to several fighters including Canelo Alvarez, however, rumor has it that ‘Money’ is extremely upset with his prodigy Gervonta Davis.
What did Gervonta Davis say?
Gervonta is following the Mayweather school of bragging about his boxing talent and power, this apparently went to his head, as in an interview, Tank said he would beat Mayweather.
As expected, Mayweather could not sit idly by, and rumor has it that Mayweather may be coming back from retirement just to prove that he is the ultimate authority in his category in professional boxing.
After a press conference to promote his fight against Frank Martin, Davis responded.
“Me and Floyd? A beatdown,” Davis responded.
While it is highly unlikely that Mayweather and Davis will face each other, given their significant age difference and Mayweather‘s retirement from professional boxing in August 2017, the former five-weight world champion has continued to participate in exhibition bouts and is considered active in the sport.
His most recent exhibition bout was in June 2023 against John Gotti III, which ended in chaos when Gotti was disqualified, triggering a pitched battle in the ring.
Although it has not yet been confirmed who Mayweather‘s opponent will be in the next show, there have been rumors linking him to several opponents, including a proposed rematch with Gotti, which failed to materialize.
The Mayweather-Davis feud
The relationship between Mayweather and Davis began to deteriorate after Davis left Mayweather Promotions, the company that guided him to his first world championship in 2017 and collaborate exclusively with his advisor Al Haymon.
