John Gotti III has made it clear that his feud with Floyd Mayweather is far from over.
On Sunday night, chaos erupted as Gotti and Mayweather faced off in an exhibition boxing match in Sunrise, Fla. The event was doomed from the start, with the fight being delayed due to the entourages of both fighters obstructing the cornermen. The bout ultimately ended in a brawl after referee Kenny Bayless called a stop to the fight in the sixth round. The fighters were too busy jawing at each other and disregarding Bayless’ warnings.
Mayweather, an undefeated four-division boxing champion, dominated the contest, further fueling Gotti’s anger as the fight progressed. Even after the match, Gotti took to social media to express his frustration with Mayweather and criticize the premature end to the fight.
In an Instagram Story, accompanied by a high-angle video of the brawl, Gotti wrote, “Floyd Mayweather, you’re my enemy for life, you punk b****.” He also claimed that Mayweather never knocked him down or defeated him legitimately, suggesting that the disqualification was unjustified.
To intensify the tension, Gotti, the grandson of the infamous New York mobster John Gotti, tagged Conor McGregor in another Instagram story, calling for backup. McGregor and Mayweather have a well-documented history of trading insults and occasionally showing mutual respect. Their rivalry reached its peak in August 2017 when they faced off in a highly lucrative crossover boxing match, which Mayweather won by TKO in the tenth round.
