Jamie Foxx has once again taken the internet by storm once again. Foxx faced some health complications earlier this year and was rushed to the hospital from the set of his upcoming action-comedy, ‘Back in Action’. This caused fans and celebrities all around the world to worry about the actor’s health. His family kept things private so not a lot of information came out, even boxing legend Mike Tyson gave his two cents on the matter.

Although his daughter later informed the public about his medical situation, and even Foxx himself took to Instagram to express his gratitude, he has refrained from actively engaging with the public. Recently, a boxing commentator shared an old video of Foxx impersonating Floyd Mayweather in front of the legend himself. Foxx and Mayweather have a rather good relationship. In fact, prior to his bout against Aaron Chalmers earlier this year, Foxx even attended Mayweather’s birthday party.

Previously, Mayweather himself shared the post on his Instagram account. He wrote, “It’s always laughing and storytelling with my brother.” Fans couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his impression. Many pointed out accuracy of the imitation was, well, even Mayweather himself loved it.
