“Not Bad for the First Time…”: Floyd Mayweather Works With New Coach Crystal Thomas Ahead of Rematch With John Gotti III

A few months ago on June 11 during an exhibition fight, referee Kenny Bayless struggled to maintain control of the main event featuring Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III in Sunrise, Florida. The match took an unexpected turn as both fighters were accompanied by their entourages into the ring. Referee Bayless disqualified John Gotti III midway through the sixth round for repeatedly grabbing Mayweather.

This decision frustrated Gotti. Refusing to accept the outcome, he escalated the situation by shoving the referee aside and charging at Mayweather. He even tried to get in some punches even after the bell rang. So, the fight was called off and the fans demanded a rematch. And they will get exactly what they want. Gotti will now get a chance to avenge his last defeat and Mayweather is back in training camp to ensure that does not happen.

Floyd Mayweather is training with the boxing coach Crystal Thomas

Floyd Mayweather has been in training camp for his rematch for some time now. Recently, Mayweather showcased his skills in nearly a minute-long footage. They kept working on the pads with his long-time trainer, Gerald Tucker. The video captures Mayweather’s precision and agility as he executes each throw with remarkable accuracy. Now he’s posted a video with another boxing coach Crystal Thomas. So, it’s evident that Mayweather is open to new things even at this age, and he’s ready to impose more punishment on Gotti III when they run it back again. He can be seen working the pads with the famous female boxing trainer, and wrote in the caption, “Not bad for the first time working together.”

As Mayweather gets ready for the matchup, he even announced a tentative date for this anticipated showdown between him and Gotti III.

When is the expected date for the exhibition fight?

Announcing a highly anticipated rematch, Floyd Mayweather took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that he will face John Gotti III for the second time. The announcement comes after Gotti’s suspension by the Florida State Boxing Commission, originally set for six months, was overturned in July. An official date for Mayweather vs. Gotti III is yet to be confirmed.

Reports suggest that the fight could potentially occur on the night preceding the Super Bowl. Well, it’d be interesting to see the enthralling contest between these fighters and watch them go at each other yet again.
