Floyd Mayweather inspired millions with his boxing career. He boasts an undefeated 50-0 record. Other undefeated legends like Rocky Marciano and Joe Calzaghe have also made history. Yet, Mayweather’s zero-loss record motivates modern boxers. Thus, ‘Money’ is amassing a pool of talented proteges.

Recently, Curmel Moton, a 17-year-old boxing prodigy, is under Floyd Mayweather’s mentorship. He has quickly gained attention in the boxing world and earned praise for his victory in his pro boxing debut following the Charlo-Alvarez bout. Appreciating Moton, Mayweather stated, “We can’t predict the next Floyd Mayweather, but I believe Curmel could be that person.” However, recently, he has unraveled his other “secret weapon protege,” and surprisingly, he is not Moton.

Who’s the “secret weapon” of Floyd Mayweather?

In the video posted by Fight Hype, we see ‘Pretty Boy’ flaunting his new protege’s stellar boxing candidature. His name is John Easter. As Mayweather says, “5 and 0 five Knockouts, one of my secret weapons ..160.. on this way soon we rising up watch y’all for my god let’s go”
