Floyd Mayweather Jr boxing news
Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather appears to have confirmed he has signed the contract to fight UFC champ, Conor McGregor following reports in Ghana on the postponement of his scheduled tour to the West African country this week.
Organisers of the ‘Undefeated Tour’ confirmed last week that Mayweather will also visit Nigeria before arriving in Accra on June 15 for a two-day visit which would have climaxed with him being a special guest of honour at a boxing show at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
Ghanaian boxers to thrill Mayweather at Bukom Boxing Arena June 16, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather will be the special guest of honor at a fight night including a WBO Africa and world title eliminator Middleweight championship on the night of June 16 when he visits Ghana.
Scheduled for the plush Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, local rivals, Emmanuel ‘Game Boy’ Tagoe and George ‘Red Tiger’ Ashie will also square off in a super exhibition fight to thrill the legendary American boxer who is visiting ‘the motherland’ on 15th and 16th June on the African leg of his ‘Undefeated Tour.
Undefeated Ghanaian boxer, Braimah Kamoko (29-0, 22 KOs) famously nicknamed Bukom Banku has sent out a passionate plea to retired boxing legend, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather ahead of the American’s planned visit to Ghana later this month.
Mayweather who retired undefeated nearly two years ago has confirmed he will be in the country that produced Boxing Hall of Fame inductee, Azumah Nelson on June 15 and 16 even though details and itinerary of the trip still remain scanty.
Kamoko who also calls himself the ‘Africa Mayweather’ says it will only be appropriate that he trains, spars and also escorts Mayweather around on tour and other engagements whilst in the West African country.
Though he has not yet put pen to paper and signed on for the fight, semi-retired superstar Floyd Mayweather is doing his utmost to sell his impending match-up with MMA star Conor McGregor (McGregor has signed on, Floyd is expected to do so soon).
The 40 year old all-time great was speaking on Eminem’s SiriusXM channel shade 45, and he praised McGregor’s stand up boxing and fighting skills. “Money” pointed out that McGregor – who he will fight under boxing rules (if the fight goes ahead, and it looks as though it will) – has never lost “standing up.”
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is picking American Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) to defeat IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) this Saturday night in their fight on Sky Box Office PPV from Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Mayweather still has some doubts about how well the 27-year-old Spence will do against Brook if the fight goes into the later rounds.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. took a verbal shot at middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin last weekend in saying that he’d have no problems beating him, and that he would take him to school if the two of them were to fight. The 40-year-old Mayweather says he has NO interest fighting Golovkin. That’s not a fight he’s interested in making at all. Mayweather he’s done with boxing, and he wants to face UFC star Conor McGregor to give the fans what they want to see.
By Juan Palumbo: UFC star Conor McGregor says he’s signed an agreement to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a fight under boxing rules. He’s now waiting for Mayweather to sign for the fight. Mayweather isn’t giving any indication when he’ll be getting around to signing for the fight.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR became the latest boxing superstar to grace the spiritual home of British boxing tonight.
The fight legend made a shock appearance at York Hall, Bethnal Green to check out his fighter Gervonta Davis.
‘The Tank’ who defends his IBF super-featherweight crown against Liam Walsh at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday night performed a public workout.
It was a real jump from the couch moment in sports, and fight fans were almost certain a huge upset, even an unthinkable sight was mere seconds away. It was seven years ago today in Las Vegas when a 40-0(25) Floyd Mayweather Junior met a 46-5(39) “Sugar” Shane Mosley in defence of both his unbeaten record and his lofty pound-for-pound status.
Floyd Mayweather Junior knows all about participating in the big, big welterweight fights, and the former 147 pound king is a very interested observer going into the May 27 shoot-out between reigning and defending IBF welterweight champ Kell Brook and unbeaten challenger Errol Spence Jr.
