It’s difficult for one to retain their prime form throughout their career, but Floyd Mayweather achieved it with ease. Boasting off 50 wins with no losses, Mayweather has always been at the top in a career of over two decades. However, he revealed that he has lost his best shape at this stage.

Aged 43, Mayweather is no longer an active boxer and has been retired for almost four years. Despite this, he continues to embrace the sport with several exhibition fights and has a possible contest against YouTube star Logan Paul ahead.

That said, the date of the event is still a mystery and neither ‘Money’ nor ‘Maverick’ has hinted at it taking place anytime soon. Meanwhile, Mayweather has hinted about his current training sessions and shape to help us preview his in-ring return.
