The undefeated ‘Tank’, Gervonta Davis, will return to action soon against Leo Santa Cruz on October 24 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, USA. As he beat all odds, Davis is in no mood to comprise on his training session. His upcoming rival, Leo Santa Cruz, is a veteran lightweight, boasting a pro record of 37 wins and one loss. Thus, he can hand a difficult time for ‘Tank’ when they collide inside the ring. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jSwligLn6/ [https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jSwligLn6/] That said, Gervonta Davis is being mentored by Floyd Mayweather [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/floyd-mayweather/]. Not only that, but Mayweather is also holding the pads for him and making him work effectively on shotgun jabs. FLOYD MAYWEATHER AND GERVONTA DAVIS ARE READY FOR LEO SANTA CRUZ Just a month prior to the fight, Fight Hype.com has posted a video where Mayweather and Davis were spotted working together for the upcoming lightweight thriller. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kna-dRw-YnI] As mentioned, the duo is putting a load on the shotgun technique. Now, shotgun-style consists of some rapid-fire jabs on a string, which can put considerable damage on the rival. It is also helpful in distracting the opponent and closing the gaps between them. It seems that Davis is planning to outpoint Leo Santa Cruz [https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/374624] with that technique. Considering that Davis is one of the most lethal lightweight knockout artists, he will hunt for one more KO in his upcoming contest. Meanwhile, Leo Santa Cruz is more of a technical boxer who likes to go to the distance. In his 37 professional wins, the Mexican has won 19 of them via knockout and 18 by decision. That said, he hasn’t been knocked out ever in his career. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/santa-cruz.png] Thus, Davis will have to showcase something sensational to seal the victory. In the meantime, Santa Cruz will also have to be rapid and defensive to counter ‘Tank’s aggression. Both the world champions will put their respective titles on the line and the winner will depart with both. Davis’s WBA lightweight belt and Santa Cruz’s WBA super featherweight title will be at stake in the headliner. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/7-31-2020-9-45-30-AM-4126794.jpeg] Amid all these, Davis’s training clips alongside Mayweather is already creating a lot of hype for the event. Who do you think will win this much-anticipated bout?

Floyd Mayweather: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, girlfriend and more Who is Floyd Mayweather? Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a retired American boxer who commenced his professional journey in 1996, soon after winning a Bronze medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In a two-decade-long career that ended in 2017, besides remaining undefeated, Mayweather Jr. emerged as the dominant money-spinning boxer of the era.

(Photo by Zac Goodwin/PA Images via Getty Images) He secured 15 major world titles in his long and illustrious career. Even though he has retired from professional boxing, Mayweather continues to dazzle fans with his impeccable boxing skills in exhibition fights. Apart from that, Mayweather, using his shrewd business acumen, continues to make investments in a variety of profitable ventures as he continues to be the &#8220;richest boxer in the world&#8221;. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s early life Born Floyd Joy Sinclair, records state Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s date of birth as February 24, 1977.Â  He was born to Floyd Mayweather Senior andÂ  Deborah Sinclair. Floyd&#8217;s mother, Deborah Sinclair, is of Jamaican ancestry. Not much information is available about her details, such as her date of birth, life, etc. But, by and large, she keeps herself away from the limelight that hogs her world-famous son constantly. On the other end, Mayweather Jr. shared a difficult relationship with his father. Senior was involved in training Junior during his budding years. But as a professional, their relations went through on-off phases. Floyd&#8217;s place of birth is Grand Rapids, Michigan. &#8216;Money&#8217; has one half-brother Justin Mayweather Jones, and three sisters Fannie Orr, Deltricia Tawanna Howard, and Fatimah Mayweather.Â  For his schooling, Floyd went to Ottawa Hills High School. But it seems that he didn&#8217;t complete his education, dropping out while in high school. Hailing from a family of boxers, he started learning the ropes of the &#8216;Sweet Science&#8217; at the age of seven, and the rest is history! Roger Mayweather, Floyd&#8217;s uncle, left a lasting impression on the boxing champion. A former world champion, he took up the responsibility of training his nephew in 2000 and remained his trainer till 2012. Sadly &#8216;Black Mamba&#8217; passed away in 2020.Â  Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s wife and children Floyd Mayweather Jr. has four kids: Koraun, Zion, Jirah, and Iyanna.

Mayweather adopted Devion Cromwell, Brim&#8217;s son from an earlier relationship. As of now, he remains unmarried. From 1995 to 2005, he was in a relationship with Josie Harris. Their relationship, most of the time, ran into rough weather. Reportedly, while still in a relationship with Harris, &#8216;Money&#8217; met Melissia Brim. The pair broke up in 2000, a few months after Iyanna&#8217;s birth. It is very difficult to ascertain who he is currently dating.

The richest fighter in boxing&#8217;s history reportedly made $1.2 billion during his life&#8217;s work in and out of the boxing ring. Whenever the talks about the biggest money-making fights crop up, the top four inevitably end up with Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s bouts.

Conor McGregor, 2017: &#8220;The Money Fight&#8221; fell short of the fight against Pacquiao in terms of PPV purchases (4.3 million). But as far as fighters went, while McGregor&#8217;s paycheck stood around $100 million, Mayweather Jr. bagged nearly $300 million. Vs. Canelo Alvarez, 2013: &#8220;The One&#8221; spinning around $144 million pay-per-view revenue. Then much younger Canelo Alvarez received around $12 million. Mayweather Jr., on the other hand, made roughly $75 million. Vs, Miguel Cotto, Billed as &#8220;Ring Kings&#8221;, the fight generated around 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. Mayweather Jr. made around $45 Million and Cotto made $8 Million.Â  Fights are not the only source of &#8216;Money&#8217;s income. Regarding investments, he made some of his most brilliant moves in the real estate sector. Floyd Mayweather owns as many as nine skyscrapers. One of the most prominent among those, One Vanderbilt, a 93-story tall building in New York, forms a part investment portfolio estimated to be over $150 million. In 2022, reports filtered in of Mayweather Jr. branching out to open a Casino at New York&#8217;s Times Square. It would be another feather in the cap for the former champion, who boasts homes in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Reportedly, he has a $25 million mansion in Beverly Hills. Despite retiring from professional boxing, Mayweather has yet to hang the gloves for good. Since 2018, he has been active in the exhibition circuit.Â  According to Celebrity Net Worth, his first fight against Tensin Nasukawa in December 2018 fetched $9 million.

Apart from that, his other notable business investments include Money Team Racing, Mayweather Promotions, and Skate Rock City. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s career timeline Coming from an acclaimed boxing family, it was natural for young Floyd Mayweather Jr. to pick the gloves. The prodigious boxer won the Golden Gloves in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Making it to the Olympics, Mayweather Jr. controversially lost the semi-finals to Serafim Todorov. As a result, he had to settle for a bronze medal. Per records, his amateur wins stood at eighty-four against eight defeats. By the year-end 1996, Mayweather Jr. embarked on his professional career with his first fight against Roberto Apodaca on October 11. He was three months short of his twentieth birthday. Over the next two years, Floyd Mayweather won nineteen fights. In between, he won his first world title on October 3 against Genaro Hernandez. Mayweather would successfully defend his WBC super featherweight title for the next three years. Then, on April 20, 2002, Mayweather Jr. fought his first bout in the lightweight division. He won the WBA and The Ring titles with a win over Jose Luis Castillo. The first big name that crossed his path was Arturo Gatti. The duo fought on June 25, 2005, for the WBC super lightweight title. &#8216;Money&#8217; won as the latter retired by the sixth round of the contest. Making his second divisional move, &#8216;TBE&#8217; fought and defeated Zab Judah unanimously on April 8, 2006, winning the IBF and IBO welterweight titles. Towards the end of the year, he defeated Carlos Baldomir and added the WBC, IBA, and The Ring welterweight belts to his kitty. On May 7, 2007, he faced the next big name. Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought for the WBC light middleweight title. The latter won via split decision. His next severe test awaited him six months later. England&#8217;s Ricky Hatton and Mayweather Jr. fought at MGM Grand on December 8. A tenth-round stoppage ensured a technical victory for the American while defending the welterweight titles. Three years later, Mayweather outclassed Shane Mosley at MGM Grand. The following year, he knocked out Victor Ortiz to win the WBC welterweight title. Miguel Cotto was the next to fall in line on May 5, 2012. The win fetched Mayweather Jr. the WBA super light middleweight title. Then, on September 14, 2013, he faced a much younger Canelo Alvarez at MGM Grand. &#8216;Money&#8217; won by a majority decision and added the WBC and The Ring Light Middleweight titles. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; SEPTEMBER 14: (L-R) Floyd Mayweather Jr. throws a right to Canelo Alvarez during their WBC/WBA 154-pound title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 14, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The following two years were momentous for Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2014, he fended off Carlos Maidana&#8217;s challenges twice. During their first bout on May 3, Mayweather won by a split decision. Four months later, the judges were unanimous in the decision to award a win to the American. Then, onÂ May 2, 2015, &#8216;TBE&#8217; faced his biggest challenge. He met the mighty Manny Pacquiao at MGM Grand. The much-hyped fight proved to be drab. Nevertheless, the American won unanimously and got himself the WBO welterweight title besides retaining the existing ones. He then claimed his forty-ninth professional win when he earned a unanimous decision over Andre Berto. Soon afterward, Mayweather Jr. announced his retirement from the sport. Two years later, he made a comeback againstÂ the UFC sensation and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor at Nevada&#8217;s T-Mobile Arena on August 26, 2017. Mayweather Jr. won the fight on technical grounds by the tenth round. It was the last professional fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr. His record is now perfect fifty-nil. Floyd Mayweather Juniorâ€™s partnership and endorsements Hublot Ahead of Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s fight against Conor McGregor in 2017, the Swiss watchmaking company signed a deal with the boxing legend. Mayweather was seen brandishing a $1.1 million diamond-encrustedÂ Hublot Big Bang watch in the pre-match press conference in London ahead of his fight against McGregor. His association with the company dates back to the Pacquiao fight when the former five-division world champion&#8217;s trunks carried the logo of the watch company. The value of the deal remains undisclosed to this day. Mayweather termed the deal with Hublot &#8220;timeless&#8221;.Â  Burger King The American fast-food company signed a deal with Mayweather in 2015. The deal was worth 1 million dollars in 2015.
