“Somebody Call Floyd [Mayweather’s] Grandson”: DeenTheGreat’s Son Impresses Fans With His Boxing Skills in Viral Training Video

Compared to its origins more than a century ago, boxing has advanced significantly. Influencer boxing, the newest fad in boxing, has now become an integral part of the sport. And influencer boxers don’t shy away from calling out the biggest names in professional boxing for a fight. Florida-based TikToker and YouTuber Nurideen Shabazz, popularly known as ‘DeenTheGreat’ is among the more popular influencer-turned-boxers. The influencer boxer has appeared in many crossover fights for KSI‘s Misfits Boxing. Recently, he even brought in his young son into the ring to train with him.

Former five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. often shares videos of his grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr. on social media. In most of the clips that Floyd posts online, his grandson can be seen shadowboxing as well. However, after the clip of DeenTheGreat’s son went viral on Instagram, boxing fans have paired Mayweather’s grandson and Deen’s son for a match-up.
