44-year-old Floyd Mayweather is possibly preparing for the easiest boxing scrap of his entire career against social media star Money Kicks, which can happen in early 2022 in Abu Dhabi. Although Mayweather has faced Logan Paul in an exhibition in June 2021, ‘The Maverick’ had actually performed well against ‘TBE’. And offered us a better fight than what Japan’s Tenshin Nasukawa had done against Mayweather in 2017.

Thus, the potential fight with Money Kicks may be Mayweathers’ easiest challenge. But the retired boxer is not sleeping on him and he is undergoing preparations for the fight. After dropping glimpses of his shadowboxing from the helipad of Burj Al Arab, Mayweather was spotted running on the streets.

His trainer Big Gerald posted a clip on social media, where a sweaty Mayweather detailed his ongoing drills. While Mayweather is also known for working out late at night, the recent one also seemed to have happened similarly.

‘TBE’ said, “Lightwork, putting that work. Miami, Vegs, New York, L.A, gotta work hard”

Mayweather seems unfazed by Money Kick, as he rightly should be. But his 20-year-old opponent is also keeping a similar approach and is confident about his chances in a boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather. Surprisingly, former world champion Amir Khan has also backed Money Kicks to offer Mayweather a tough time.

Having seen Mayweather struggle to an extent against Logan Paul, the Dubai-kid actually has a blueprint to sample his success. However, taking out an all-time legend will be extremely demanding. Moreover, Rashed Belhasa aka Money Kicks has very limited experience in the sport. Hence, he will remain the underdog unless he offers something shocking in reality.

Can Money Kicks tackle Floyd Mayweather?

Money Kicks spoke exclusively with Sky Sports and shared his views on the potential fight against Floyd Mayweather. He hailed Mayweather for his flawless achievements in the sport of boxing. But didn’t shy away from boasting his own chances. Money Kicks stated he has lived with wild animals like lions since childhood and is unfazed by a human.
