Nevertheless, the Michigan native is at Lakers games quite often. This time, Mayweather invited Anthony Davis and Anthony Edwards to walk with him for the upcoming bout against John Gotti III.

With several hours left for the rematch at Mexico City, The Brow has already marked presence at the event. A video of AD taking a picture with a fan, wearing a printed shirt and black trousers surfaced on the internet. Whistle Sports, who shared the video on their X handle, claimed that the Laker had pulled up early to the fight.

Now that Anthony Davis has almost proved his good rapport with Floyd Mayweather, here are 3 instances that solidify it further.

1. A fan-boy moment for Anthony Davis in 2017

Floyd Mayweather is undoubtedly a generational talent, finishing his professional boxing career with an undefeated 50-0 record. Following his retirement, the star boxer has continued to entertain his fans and secure some dough with exhibition games. It’s hard for anyone to shy away from his aura, and Anthony Davis definitely couldn’t evade his admiration. 7 years ago, the Laker visited his training camp ahead of his much-decorated fight against Connor McGregor. Starstruck, AD had a lot to say about the lethal boxer.

Speaking to one of the trainees, Anthony Davis said, “That was amazing, man, you know. All the hard work you put in, or people don’t really see that you know. All the behind the scenes and stuff that you do to get ready for fights.” From witnessing his training before a decorated bout to walking alongside the boxer before a fight, AD is truly a lucky fan, locked in!

2. Mayweather makes a fortune with AD’s help

It’s quite difficult to determine which NBA team Mayweather supports. As a friend of Isaiah Thomas, the star boxer cheered for the franchises whichever his buddy played for. At the same time, he had a special connection with Kobe Bryant, personally. But where doesn’t Anthony Davis fall in this equation?

Even though this doesn’t really showcase their bond, it showcases a return gesture to AD’s huge favor. Ahead of the inaugural edition of the In-season Tournament finals, Floyd Mayweather placed his bet on the Lakers and reportedly won $229,100. Ultimately, it was possible because of the big man’s herculean effort, dropping 40 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks to defeat the Pacers.

Last but not least, the duo have linked up several times on camera, especially during the Lakers games. This ultimately solidifies their bond multifold. Speaking of his influence in weight training, Anthony Davis said, “It’s just motivational. You know make want go to the gym right now and start working,” when he met the star boxer ahead of his preparations, as a youngster in the Pelicans.

Above all, AD alongside Anthony Edwards gets the ultimate honor of walking alongside one of the greatest boxers ahead of his fight.
