A rather bizarre news story has been doing the rounds of the media recently. Boxer Marcos Maidana claims that he possesses a tooth from a former opponent, Floyd Mayweather. However, Mayweather has recently come out to deny Maidana’s freakish claims.
Mayweather took on Maidana twice in 2014- emerging victorious in both the fights. It is their second fight that Maidana refers to when he says he knocked Mayweather’s teeth out with a punch.
“In the third round, when he hit me with that shot after the bell, it was a real good shot. It got my attention. No, he didn’t knock my teeth out. Not at all! He’s a strong guy, he’s a good puncher, but no, as far as my teeth missing, absolutely not.”- Floyd Mayweather
