Mayweather is believed to have ended his career with a victory over Andre Berto in 2015. It was another defense of Floyd’s two heavyweight titles. So the great American’s record began to consist of 49 victories in 49 fights, and with these numbers he retired. In 2017, Mayweather returned from retirement for an incredibly exciting crossover with Conor McGregor. This fight was approved as a professional boxing fight, so Floyd’s 50th victory entered the record.

After his retirement the martial theme obviously went to Mayweather and he continued to develop it. True, from now on, seemingly random people who did not always have a direct relationship with boxing became competitors. But these fights, notable, were only exhibited in nature and were not counted. Mayweather defeated Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Natsukawa in 2018. And last year, Floyd had a surprisingly difficult relationship with blogger Logan Paul.

Now Mayweather’s rival is Don Moore. He is also a former boxer. He is now 42 (Floyd, recall, 45) and has been retired since 2016. He managed 18 pro-fights during his career and won them all. Moore mostly fought in the featherweight division. But all this is not as interesting as another detail from his biography. To wear. The truth is, Floyd’s uncle, who died two years ago, worked for a long time with coach Roger Mayweather. Also, Moore had a lot to work with with Floyd as his sparring partner. Mayweather Jr. Recalling his experience working with the big champion, Moore claimed that he was able to create problems for the great champion.

In face-to-face encounters, Don also aimed to compete with Floyd, but it didn’t turn out very well. The fight went the whole distance, and over the course of its course, Mayweather confidently took episode after episode, and at one point even managed to knock out the opponent. Floyd’s victory was still not counted, but he was not very upset: another fat check was going with him for the USA, and it seems that there is an option with a new fight in a similar format.

On Tuesday, Tsarukyan and Sharabutdin Magomedov, known by his nickname Shara Bullet, ended in a draw in a grappling bout in Yerevan.

— The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC. I don’t think anyone can afford to pay him that amount,” Red Corner MMA quotes Tsarukyan as saying.

TYSON FURY: “Usyk will give up his champion title and there is a reason for that”

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:

“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”

Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.

Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.

Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
