Floyd Mayweather has shown that there are many levels between the latest boxing craze on YouTube and the true elite of the sport.
As he prepares for his latest exhibition, the 50-0 celebrity shook off the cobwebs in the gym with YouTuber, Jarvis. The 21-year-old has been in influential boxing before, but that doesn’t prepare him for the greatest fight of all time.
When Mayweather started working, he laughed, danced and taunted Jarvis – rhyming ‘I’m so cold, almost 50’ and sarcastically telling opponents he had a ‘good stab’. Jarvis, unsurprisingly, failed to land.

Despite the disparity in skills, these are the types of people Mayweather is used to facing today. Since hanging up his gloves in 2017, which marked two decades of professional play, he has made incredible amounts of money in exhibitions.
His opponents include YouTubers and MMA fighters, however, he will face off against pro boxer 1-0, Aaron Chalmers – best known for his time on MTV’s Geordie Shore before he played. His combat sports career took precedence.
