Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is set to compete in another exhibition match following his victory over YouTube sensation Deji back in November for the first-ever broadcasted fight in the metaverse. He will face the reality TV show Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers, in his first bout in the United Kingdom.

Although Mayweather was initially supposed to face Liam Harrison, the fight was called off after the latter pulled out seven hours after the announcement. Moreover, Chalmers was then announced as the replacement. This fight might not have been a ‘godsent’ for fans, but former Bellator star and Jake Paul’s teammate Anthony Taylor was certainly upset that ‘Money’ didn’t choose him after plans for a fight between them were rumored. In addition, he expressed his dissatisfaction by calling out the five-division champion on social media.

Taylor took to Twitter and expressed his shock at this announcement. He called out Mayweather and insinuated he was a ‘loser’ for picking Chalmers over him. “@FloydMayweather you turned down my fight to fight @AaronCGShore,” he wrote with a mocking gif in the post.

Taylor recently had a chance to prove his worth as a boxer in KSI’s misfit event. He faced Idris Virgo who beat the former with a points victory and looked more than comfortable in the fight. The Bellator fighter on the other hand looked gassed as his cardio was clearly not up to the mark. This certainly poses some questions as to why he would call out Mayweather.
