Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti LIVE: Rivals set to resume hostilities after chaotic ending to first fight that saw mass brawl after fight

As expected, it’s a comfortable opening round for Mayweather.

The boxing legend starts slowly, with Gotti experiencing a brief revival at one point, but it’s clear who’s in control.

There is some confusion at the end of the round as Gotti and Mayweather appear stunned that it is over after two minutes!

The first bell has sounded for the start of tonight’s match in Mexico City!

How will this end?

Below is the story from the tape for tonight’s match, provided by DAZN.

Mayweather even wears the famous Mexican green, red and white tonight.

John Gotti III enters the ring in Mexico City.

Can he pull off one of the biggest upsets of all time tonight?

His best days may be long gone, but it goes without saying that Mayweather is one of the best fighters in boxing history. He considers himself the largest.

And it’s hard to disagree with him, given his illustrious resume.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S PERFORMANCE

• 50-0 professional record (27 KO’s)
• World Champion in four weight classes
• Draw of 26 consecutive victories in world title fights
• 24 world champions defeated
• Career earnings of over $1 billion

Mayweather and Gotti’s first meeting last year, of course, ended in chaos when a mass brawl broke out between the two teams. Here’s how it went down:

John Gotti, the late grandfather of Mayweather’s opponent tonight, remains one of the most powerful mob bosses of all time 22 years after his death.

Gotti was the head of the feared Gambino crime family. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 after being convicted of murder and other charges, before dying behind bars a decade later.

Ahead of his rematch with Mayweather, Gotti III revealed what his grandfather might have thought about the massive brawl that broke out last time.

“He would have wanted to rip Floyd’s head off, you know, with that much going on.’

“I’m fighting to gain respect for my name and have a positive impact on my family, so I’m sure he… [grandfather] could appreciate that.’

NBA icon Anthony Davis is in Mexico tonight for the Mayweather vs. Gotti showdown.

There are even rumors that the Lakers’ power forward and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards will walk into the ring with Floyd…

Tonight’s performance started at 7:30 PM (Eastern Time), while the main event is expected to begin just after midnight.

Mayweather and Gotti, just like in their first fight, will fight eight rounds of two minutes each.

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport’s coverage of tonight’s draw between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III in Mexico City.

Mayweather is preparing for another showdown after retiring from boxing, as he is set to share the ring with the grandson of notorious crime boss John Gotti for the second time.

Their first meeting last year was a lot more dramatic than expected. Chaos broke out when Gotti responded to being held back during the match by continuing to punch, leading to a massive brawl in the ring.
