Floyd Mayweather has had a tumultuous relationship with the authorities! Besides being sentenced to jail for 90 days in 2010, he has had several other encounters with the men in blue. In the latest episode of Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, Floyd’s former Olympic teammate, Antonio Tarver shed light on Mayweather’s troubles with authorities. 

As part of the final season of his popular podcast, Mike Tyson invited the former light heavyweight world champion to his show. While discussing Tarver’s days in the sport, DJ Who Kid brought up Floyd Mayweather’s involvement with Tarver when they competed in the Olympics. It eventually led to Mike Tyson coaxing Tarvor to spill the beans on Mayweather’s troubles with the cops.

Antonio Tarver describes the Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III mayham

Floyd Mayweather took on John Gotti III in June last year, a fight that ended in utter mayhem. After Mayweather played with Gotti for several rounds, the grandson of the popular mob boss tried to attack Mayweather. Soon, people jumped inside the ring to protect the boxing legend as chaos ensued in the venue.

Tarver was ringside for the fight, so in an interview with TMZ Sports, he revealed, “I don’t know, it just happened so fast. I [was] calling the fight at [the] time.” Tarver suggested even though Floyd put on a great show, Gotti didn’t seem like he wanted to fight until he was disqualified. “When the fight was actually taking place, he didn’t have that energy, man,” said Tarver.
