Floyd Mayweather and Makhmud Muradov- An unparallel bond

Apart from being an elite boxer, Floyd Mayweather is also a reputed promoter who shares a great relationship with his clients and fighters. Muradov revealed he was close to Mayweather even before he was successful. Ahead of the fight, Muradov connected with MMA Junkie to shed light on his last interaction with Mayweather and how they have always been close to each other.

“He called me on FaceTime, ‘Hey, brother, keep working.’ I have a good connection with Floyd. I thank him because it helped me, support me every time. He told me about business plans and sport plans – 10 years before coming to Czech, I don’t have nothing. Now I have Floyd Mayweather as a friend, sometimes he calls me, sends messages, it’s life. You don’t know what’s waiting for you tomorrow,” said Muradov.

Meanwhile, Muradov will now try to enter into the top 15 of the current middleweight roster. Despite his achievements at 185 lbs, ‘Mach’ has a long way to go as the middleweight unit, is one of the deepest in the UFC with several elites on the ride. So, a 3-0 run might not be very beneficial unless Muradov gets a crack at the top-gunners of the division.
