“Gotti III declares Mayweather as his lifelong enemy after criticizing him in recent interview”

John Gotti III Calls Floyd Mayweather ‘An Enemy For Life’ After Exhibition Fight Descent Into Chaos

John Gotti III, the grandson of notorious mob boss from the Gambino crime family in New York, spoke out for the first time after his exhibition fight with veteran boxer Floyd Mayweather led to chaos. Gotti was involved in a mass brawl after the referee stopped the fight midway through the sixth round, citing excessive trash talking as the reason for his decision.

The Fight and the Consequences

Following the decision by the referee, Gotti fired a flurry of punches at Mayweather, sparking a melee and leading to close to 50 people entering the ring. The arena descended into violence, and scraps broke out across the FLA Live Arena. Gotti, clearly still revved up from the post-fight scrap, took to social media to call Mayweather ‘an enemy for life,’ adding an aerial shot of the fight to his post.

Gotti’s Rant and Criticism

John Gotti III broke his silence and slammed Mayweather on his Instagram story, clearly not sated even though the referee had called off the fight. He criticized the ref’s decision to stop the bout and claimed that he had been disqualified without any valid reason: ‘But the ref never put me down or stopped me. It was a DQ for no reason,’ he wrote.

Bad Blood and Threats

Gotti then threatened Mayweather graver and hinted at possible future violence. ‘Punk b***h Floyd Mayweather, you’re my enemy for life,’ he wrote. Urging his sister, he called for help from Conor McGregor, Mayweather‘s last professional opponent and UFC legend: ‘@TheNotoriousMMA, we need backup.’ Gotti’s sister Nicolette also sent a private message to Mayweather‘s daughter, making harrowing threats against the boxer and his family.

Boxing Exhibition Fights

Mayweather, whose professional career ended in 2017 after 50-0 and a TKO win over Conor McGregor, has since participated in high-profile exhibition bouts. His recent exhibition fight with Gotti was by far the most dramatic, with the fight’s atmosphere turned tense, violent, and chaotic.

Conclusion

It is a pity to see boxing fights descend into chaos, accompanied by violent outbursts and threats. Such events only end up hurting the reputation of those involved. Even if pre-fight trash-talking is a part of the build-up to any fight, boxers should strive to respect each other, their opponents’ families, and the sport they represent. If such events continue without consequence, the sport of boxing will only continue to earn a poor reputation.
