Every boxer dreams of mirroring the boxing prowess of Floyd Mayweather! However, Deen the Great believes he is better than ‘Money’ Mayweather. Promoted by Misfits Boxing, the undefeated influencer boxer is coming off a unanimous decision win against Walid Sharks. However, he is making the headlines today for an entirely different reason. In a recent tweet, Deen the Great proclaimed his superiority over Mayweather, which did not sit well with the fans.

Turning to X (formerly Twitter), Deen the Great wrote, “Floyd Ain have 2 whips at 23,” alongside a picture of himself standing in front of two luxury cars. It wasn’t a wise decision, as the claim went horribly wrong for the young boxer. As fans discovered the tweet on X, they quickly took to the comment section, expressing how wrong Deen the Great really is.

With merely five bouts under his belt, Deen the Great’s decision to toot his own horn meets with extreme criticism. As unlikely as it is, the boxing world collectively came together to put the young boxer in his place. 

Boxing Kingdom revealed that Mayweather had defended his title seven times by the time he was 23.

One user asserted that Floyd was pound-for-pound number two in the rankings at the age of 22 while owning his own cars.

Another user corrected Deen the Great while claiming Floyd was a world champion at the age of 21.

Someone else suggested a simple Google search before tweeting could have saved Deen the Great from receiving contrasting comments on the tweet.

While the California resident might have pulled off the win against Walid Sharks, he did not make it out unscathed. After the fight concluded, Deen turned to X, sharing a clip of the moment he dislocated his shoulder. “When my shoulder dislocated mid-fight! Switched southpaw,” said Deen. However, that’s not the only injury the young boxer suffered.

In a later tweet, Deen shared an X-ray of his hand, claiming he broke his hand while punching Walid. “Broke my hand on his face lol…be back soon ya’ll,” wrote Deen. What’s more, the Tampa resident even wants to square off against Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. During the post-fight interview, Deen decided to call out both fighters.
