The five-weight class champ, Floyd Mayweather, has always been in the limelight since he stepped inside the ring as a professional boxer. Known for impeccable defense and swift body speed, ‘Money’ has mastered the art of boxing. Notably, he announced his official retirement in 2017 after thrashing the UFC star Conor McGregor in a high-profile showdown.

However, he is keen to make a comeback in the Ring before his 45th birthday in Dubai. Though his opponent and venue are yet to be confirmed. ‘TBE’ said, “February 20th, we haven’t chosen an opponent yet but I look forward to it and hopefully we give you guys something to see.”

Moreover, the undisputed light middleweight champion Claressa Shields has praised the former champ, for his hard work and dedication at the age of 44. However, she was hosting a media workout ahead of her upcoming clash with Ema Kozin on February 5 at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.

She said, “Floyd’s in great shape. He was sparring a 21-year-old, he wasn’t even always taking breaks between rounds. He can still do whatever he wants inside that ring. He’d give all those guys problems at 147/154lbs.”

Further, She trained under the guidance of ‘TBE’, which will surely add extra dimensions to her skills and confidence.
In one video that was captured by FightHype.com, Mayweather teaches Shields the execution of the brutal body on a punching bag while balancing footwork and head movement. It was a great learning session for the world’s best active light-middleweight.
