Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and Hollywood actor Will Smith have been friends for a long time. Smith’s reputation took a massive hit after his fiasco at this year’s academy awards where he slapped the show’s host Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife’s receding hairline.

However, Mayweather still supported his friend by checking up on him after this incident. It has been quite a while since the slap heard around the world took place and it looks like Smith is on to new projects. The Oscar-nominated actor is now set to feature in the film ‘Emancipation’ releasing this December.
