Kingpyn’s ‘High Stakes’ Boxing Tournament is going to hold its Quarter Finals soon and the fans will see it going down on Apr 22 at the OVO Arena, Wembley. So in that event, Jarvis Khattri is going to take on DJ Tom Zanetti. Jarvis is the same Youtuber who got knocked down by the boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather, during the sparring session. But now, as it turns out, that did not affect their personal relationship as such. Recently, Floyd Mayweather got on a call with the Youtuber, where he gave him a piece of advice for his upcoming bout against Zanetti.

Before this bout, FaZe Jarvis fought against Michael Le in the Social Gloves match. It was held as the Youtuber vs. TikTok event, and Jarvis won the fight by a KO. Later, his name was trending in the headlines, due to his sparring video against Floyd Mayweather, where he got rocked flat on the ground. But now, he’s improved a lot and will be showcasing his skills on the night of Apr 22.

During the Face-Off, Jarvis called out Zanetti for being so sneaky about his sparring videos. As he hasn’t put out much of his boxing training on social media. Then Zanetti stated that he can say the same thing for him as well. Jarvis immediately corrected him, saying that he should remember the sparring video he posted against Mayweather.

Zanetti said, “Sparring Mayweather, bro, he absolutely picked you apart. Remember when you told me you had a spar with Mayweather.” Jarvis was bamboozled at his response and questioned him if Zanetti could actually do something against the legend, Floyd Mayweather.
