It appears as if Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III will be running it back, and for real this time.

On Friday night, Mayweather announced that a rematch between the undefeated boxer and six-time MMA veteran will take place Aug. 24 in Mexico City. “Money” made a similar announcement this past November for a fight during Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, but it never materialized, and in fact, Gotti himself never confirmed the booking.

This time, Gotti did promote the new date on several posts on his Instagram stories.

The two fighters competed in an exhibition bout in June 2023 where In the sixth round of a somewhat forgettable affair, the angry energy between Mayweather and Gotti boiled over into mayhem as referee Kenny Bayless called a stop to the bout, which led to Gotti continuing to engage Mayweather and both camps entering the ring for an ugly melee.

The 31-year-old grandson of the infamous mob boss John Gotti is 5-1 as a pro MMA fighter, but made the switch over the boxing following his first MMA loss to in a massive upset at CES 61 in October 2020. Gotti is 2-0 in his pro boxing career, including a first-round knockout victory in January 2023.

Mayweather, 47. has kept himself busy with exhibition bouts against the likes of , and even  since defeating  in his final pro boxing bout in August 2017.

Former boxer Floyd mayweather caused a sensation in the luxurious streets of Monaco accompanied by model Gallienne Nabila and his entire entourage, about 7 people mainly bodyguards and a couple of assistants. “Money” walked hand in hand with Nabila, the couple he has long been associated with and seems to be rekindling their romance.

Mayweather and Nabila were surrounded by his security as some fans sought to approach Floyd for a photo or autograph, but were immediately blocked by his security personnel, some other people just watching the scene, possibly wondering who the celebrity was that was generating so much buzz.

Gallienne Nabila, is a model and social media influencer, she has 1.6 million followers on Instagram. She has previously signed with Elite Model Management and moved to Los Angeles in 2020 to work with Wilhelmina Models.

Nabila has worked with major brands such as Fashion Nova and, in September 2023, launched her own charity, Gallienne’s Girls. An organization that aims to empower young women, helping them find their way and achieve their goals.

Floyd and Gallienne have often been spotted together, traveling, shopping and attending events. They are frequent spectators at NBA games, cheering on teams like the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite their public outings, many fans know little about Nabila, making her an intriguing figure in Mayweather’s life

Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti III

“Money” is preparing to step into the ring once again, in an exhibition fight Mayweather will face Gotti III on August 23.

Mayweather officially retired from professional boxing in 2017, but seven years later, the 47-year-old boxer continues to step into the ring in a series of exhibition fights that prove he can never really walk away from the

BoxerFloyd mayweather is being sued over an alleged assault, involving the famous athlete’s security team.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the lawsuit comes nearly two years after Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguard was under investigation for battery for the same incident.

Now, Floyd Mayweather is being sued over the damage allegedly inflicted by his bodyguard.

Man Claims Floyd Mayweather’s Team Assaulted Him

In the filing, the victim claimed the 2022 incident occurred when the Mayweather Money Team entered the Yard House restaurant near Crypto.com arena (which is formerly known as Staples Center) in L.A., which “resulted in a large crowd gathering around them, causing a commotion.”

The person says he was “using his cell phone camera [to begin] recording the Mayweather Money Team” which is when the professional boxer noticed the man was taking video. That is when  and/or the MMT got one of his bodyguards’ attention.

A member of Mayweather’s team approached the alleged victim “negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck and/or hit [the victim] by striking him and causing him to fall to the ground,” per the new legal documents.

The bodyguard then proceeded to wrestle the man to the ground “in an attempt to confiscate his cell phone, causing further injuries and damages.”

At the time, a rep for Mayweather said the famous boxer left the restaurant without incident because it was too crowded.

Victim Claims He Was Fearful Of His Safety

The victim claims he “was placed in great fear for his life, health and safety,” although, it’s reported that he waited nearly 30 minutes to call police and report the incident.

When cops responded to the call, they took a battery report. After reviewing the report and taking witness statements, they concluded that the victim’s story was not entirely consistent with what bystanders claimed.

According to the police report, the alleged victim said he was filming the boxer, who got upset and started an altercation. That is when a member of Mayweather’s security team allegedly assaulted the man as they tried to get him to delete the video on his phone.

Per the report, Mayweather’s bodyguard allegedly picked up the man’s phone and attempted to get the man to unlock the cell phone for him, so the video could be erased, however, the man allegedly refused to comply, so the bodyguard gave the phone back, and everyone reportedly went separate ways.

Witnesses, however, told police officers that the man “flopped” after the incident with the bodyguard, and fell over dramatically to the floor.

The person is now suing Mayweather for an undisclosed amount.

Floyd Mayweather’s Team Accused Of Another Assault

This is not the first time Mayweather has faced a lawsuit. In 2010, a man accused the boxer’s security team of assaulting him at The Palms casino in Las Vegas.

The man claimed he wanted to take a photo of Mayweather, and chat with him about boxing in the casino’s valet parking area, but Mayweather took offense to this, and reportedly gave his bodyguards a thumbs-down sign.

The bodyguards intervened and reportedly hit the victim in the face, knocking him down and causing him to smack his head on the pavement.

Mayweather and his promotional company were accused of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and employee negligence.

Hall of Fame boxer Floyd Mayweather is praising Jake Paul.

On July 20th, Paul is set to box 58-year-old Mike Tyson at Cowboys stadium in a fight airing live on Netflix.

Ahead of the fight, several pro boxers have criticized the Paul-Tyson matchup due to the 30-year age difference between the two.

Mayweather, however, is praising Paul for being able to “steal money” by fighting Tyson on Netflix.

“What he’s doing is kinda cool. If he can continue to steal money and they match him the way they match him, I can’t knock his hustle.”

Mayweather’s answer isn’t surprising, considering he once said he was the best at “legalized bank robbing” after an exhibition fight vs Logan Paul.

“They say, ‘It’s not all about the money.’ Well, your kids can’t eat legacy. The patches on my trunks, [earned me] $30 million alone,” So who’s really the smartest one in the sport of boxing?

“If you guys don’t wanna see me do no exhibitions, don’t come. Don’t watch. When it comes to legalised bank robbing, I’m the best.”

Team USA Swim Stars Katie Ledecky And Caeleb Dressel Call Out Chinese Doping Scandal At Olympics

A slick counterpuncher in Floyd mayweather vs. heavy-hitting A fighter with technical prowess goes up against a fighter with a big heart and carnage. It is a perfect match for the eyes. But who would have won it if ‘Money’ and ‘Tank’ had graced the boxing ring around the same time and exchanged blows? The fans also gave it serious thought and had their pick.

Mayweather, 47, hung his boxing gloves in 2017 after improving his boxing record to 50-0 against Conor McGregor. Around the same time, Davis, 29, had tasted his first glory and had only started his run as a super flyweight champion. The two have represented two extremes of boxing in recent years, slick and technical boxing and fan-friendly style. So, when Michael Benson asked, it piqued the fans’ interest.

Michael Benson asks the amusing question

TalkSports’ Benson turned to his X handle and asked how a fantasy played out in boxing fans’ heads. He also stipulated the fight to be fought at 135, a weight cut both have fought at. He wrote, “How would a fantasy Floyd Mayweather vs Gervonta Davis fight at lightweight (135lbs) play out in your opinion?”

While Davis, at 29-0, is the current champion at 135, Mayweather only made the weight for the division for a couple of years before moving up. However, he fought the likes of José Luis Castillo and Victoriano Sosa and racked up victories during that spell. But is that enough for the fans that Mayweather at 135 beats Davis?

Fans have their pick in Floyd Mayweather vs. Gervonta Davis

A fan predicted that Mayweather would have won all 12 rounds. Notably, the Michigan native has won 15 titles in 4 different weight categories and has been a dominant force to deal with. They wrote, “Floyd wins all 12 rounds.”

Similarly, a user believed Tank would have found it difficult to go past the seventh round. The orthodox boxer would have tagged him throughout the fight and tested his chin, nullifying his power punches. They responded, “Floyd at 135 and 140 was a total menace. Tank wouldn’t make it past the 7th round.”

A comment pointed out the difference between two versions of Mayweather: one who worked his way up by fighting anyone and one who fought for a hefty paycheck later in his career. However, it seemed both versions would have handed Davis a defeat. They said, “We talkin pretty boy or money? Either way.. Floyd by MD.”

A fan banked his faith in Davis’ threatening KO power, which has bamboozled  and Isaac Cruz, two fine names at 140 currently. They announced, “Tank knocks him clean out, Floyd never faced someone explosive like tank in his career, Tank has to much Aura.”

Likewise, another user believed Davis would have beaten Mayweather irrespective of weight and era. They expressed, “Tank beats Floyd at any weight, any era.”

ASHTON SYLVE once looked destined to sign for Floyd Mayweather – but he turned down the boxing hero for Jake Paul.

Sylve was a national amateur standout with over 110 bouts and ten titles to his name.

And growing up, he was a regular in , where he caught the eye of the American icon.

Sylve, 20, told SunSport: “Since I was young he was always like, ‘When you’re ready. We’re here whenever you’re ready.’

“Whenever I saw him he would say, ‘Whenever you’re ready, whenever you’re ready.’”

Sylve left behind the amateurs to turn professional in 2020 The hot prospect had a host of top promoters lining up to secure his signature but dad and mentor Ivan insisted they held out.

And that meant painfully rebuffing approaches from idol But, as fate would have it, Paul and his business partner Nakisa Bidarian were ready to make an offer that could not be refused.

Sylve revealed: “It was honestly real hard.

“I was at a point where I was not going to listen to my dad, it was kind of taking too long and I was like five or six fights in.

“I was ready to be on the big stage and I thought Floyd or whoever else would have put me on that spotlight.

“But everything happens for a reason and that’s when Jake came around I think two fights later and Nakisa came to one of my fights.

“I had an amazing knockout and we kind of went from there. If I had gone with someone else, I don’t think I’d be in this position.”

Sylve signed for YouTuber-turned boxer and has not looked back since.

He said: “My team and my dad definitely told me to take my time.

“When I had certain offers come my way I definitely wanted to jump at them and get ahead of myself just because of the name of who the promoter was.

“But as soon as MVP went our way – and we went through pretty much every big promotion company – we took our time with them too and heard what they had for us and it wasn’t quite fitting for us.

“But as soon as MVP came, Jake gave us his idea and offer, we met Jake and everything seemed to align.”

Sylve returns on Friday against Estivan Falcao for the WBC junior world title, offering the winner a chance to shoot up the rankings for a future shot at the belt.

He said: “That’s why we’re at this point right now, fighting for the title because the development of my career and the team behind me has pushed me and put me in the right position.”

FLOYD MAYWEATHER has been called out by legendary kickboxer Liam Harrison after their fight was dramatically cancelled.

Last February Harrison – an eight-time world champion – was due to face Mayweather in an exhibition at London’s O2 Arena.

But a horror knee injury caused him to He told  “I got asked to fight Floyd Mayweather last year and I couldn’t believe what was happening.

“After one of my fights, I got a bad knee injury. My MCL was torn, my ACL was torn, my knee was just flopping around my leg!

“They asked me to do the fight and I thought it’s only boxing, I don’t have to throw any kicks. I thought I’ll take it, so I just said yeah.

“For the first couple of days I was training, hitting pads, doing pad work, I thought I’m alright here, I’ll get through this.

“Then when I started sparring and I didn’t have control of where their movements were going, people started pushing me back, after training I was getting out, unwrapping my leg. It was all just swollen.

“It got to the point where I was training hard for a day then I couldn’t walk for three days just because of how badly damaged my leg was.”

Brit Harrison, 38, was even left considering postponing knee surgery to roll the dice and fight Mayweather, 46.

He revealed: “I said to my surgeon this is the chance to fight Floyd Mayweather here, can I get through this camp do you reckon?

“The fight was scheduled for February 17, or something like that, and my surgery was due for January 30. I said: ‘Can I push it back and get through the fight?’

“He said: ‘Listen I’m not going to tell you what to do, but you might do some lasting damage here.

“‘You might end up walking with a limp, you’ll need a knee replacement by the time you’re 40.’ He said: ‘Is all that going to be worth it?'”

officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar 35, in ten rounds.

I had to pull out and I was absolutely devastated. But you never know, it might come back around.

Liam Harrison on Floyd Mayweather

But he has continued to box in exhibitions against names from the MMA, martial arts and social media world.

His last was against the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti, which ended in a disqualification  After Harrison withdrew, ex-Geordie Shore star-turned boxer and MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers, 36, But the kickboxer –  holds out hope they he can revive the fight with boxing icon Mayweather.

He said: “I thought I’m probably not going to lay a glove on this guy even when I’m at full fitness. I probably won’t be able to hit him, let alone if I’m on one leg.

“I thought: ‘Is it going to be worth just getting in there and humiliating myself where I can’t move properly?’

“I had to pull out and I was absolutely devastated. But you never know, it might come back around.”
