In 2021, there have been umpteen pro-boxing and exhibition bouts that have captivated everyone’s attention.

He shared the ring with the YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul.

Recently, Floyd Mayweather’s cousin, Dejuan Blake, who was in an exclusive interview with The Sun, revealed the real reason why this contest went to the end.

“Once again, it’s an exhibition, like Floyd said, he’s not a boxer, why would he want him to get hurt and not be able to go home and talk to his family. One punch could change the game, why would he want to hurt him like that?”

“It was a great experience, a great event. We did great numbers for a non-professional fight, it was a success.” (h/t hotnewhiphop)
