Floyd Mayweather continues to live his best life. The richest boxer ever made a shoutout to American rapper, Fat Joe while showcasing his new possession, custom-made sneakers. The $4,000,000 worth icon is a sneaker-head through and through. Not to mention, he designed Nike Air Force 1 “Terror Squad” sneakers.

A few years ago, the rapper, in a detailed interview, unveiled the time, ‘Iron Mike,’ saved him and Big Pun from an altercation. In the year 1995, both rappers were in a New York nightclub. However, at the entry of the club, the bouncers were keen on seeing what was under their shoes. Moreover, the American icons refused to comply which resulted in a hostile argument. After their tussle escalated, multiple bouncers showed up and were ready to throw down. But out of nowhere, Tyson showed up at the scene to protect the two American rappers.

In a video posted by FightingDrills, “So they start arguing. ‘F you! Ya, mother!’ This, that, going back and forth. Then it starts turning into two, three, four, five, six and they all just start saying ‘let’s beat up Big Pun and Fat Joe, I don’t care.’” He adds, “So out of nowhere, we hear this voice go, “Yo Pun! Yo Joe! Let’s f*ck these dudes up. I got your back. We turn around, we see Iron Mike Tyson.”

Tyson’s aura was sufficient to prevent the bouncers from starting the brawl. In addition, it appears that Joe was grateful that Tyson had his back during that time. Moreover, ‘Kid Dynamite’ is not the only boxer he is fond of. Let’s take a look at him gifting a pair of his sneakers to Mayweather and how the undefeated reacted.

Floyd Mayweather is also grateful for his gift

In a recent turn of events, Mayweather on his Instagram account shares 2 pairs of Nike sneakers that were sent by Joe. In the caption, he states, “Thanks @FatJoe @therealrichplayer.” The Billionaire boxer already has an amazing sneaker collection and these 2 new pairs will be another addition to it.
