Many boxers retire from the sport by the age of 40. However, the American talisman Floyd Mayweather,45, has been entertaining his fans with his exhibition fights. He recently defeated Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura with a solid knockout. But what happened before the fight is gaining a lot of traction on the internet. 

In the video above, we see a Japanese come with flowers to greet Floyd Mayweather before the fight. However, instead of handing them gently, he literally threw the bouquet in front of Mayweather. Despite that, the American boxer picked up the bouquet which was lying on the ground.

Following that, there has been making a lot of noise online. Although the video was recently deleted by the Twitter Handle, we can still see some of the best fan reactions.

The five-division boxing champion had already revealed his next exhibition match even before his September 25 bout. Apparently, ‘Money’ mentioned that he will face British Youtuber Deji next in an exhibition fight. 

Furthermore, there is another ferocious opponent who might be seen inside the squared circle against Mayweather.
