Floyd Mayweather has found another prodigy for his promotion

Mayweather recently turned to social media and announced his signing with Adrien Benton. While Benton’s professional run looks promising, his amateur record is also impressive. Registering a record of 287 wins and 16 losses in the amateur run, Benton became a professional in 2019. Since then, it has been a fairy tale ride for him.

“The undefeated prospect’s talents haven’t gone unnoticed by Floyd Mayweather, who believes this young prospect has a promising future ahead,” read an Instagram post made by Mayweather’s company.

Floyd has also announced to book a debut match for him soon. If things go per plans, the promotion can end up with another world champion in ‘Playtime’ Benton. However, the lightweight roster is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing.

That said, Adrien Benton has faced none of the elites till now. Once he goes to war against them, we will see whether he has the potential to become a world champion. Regardless, Mayweather Promotions will take him on the correct path, honing his skills to the top level.
