Floyd Mayweather, the former Pound-for-Pound king, recently showed that he has many more skills other than boxing. A few days back, he had an amazing table tennis contest with his friend Usher in the presence of his head coach, Gerald Tucker, in the garage.

Tucker shared the video on his Instagram story and unveiled why Mayweather’s uncle Roger Mayweather, the former professional boxer, did not allow them to spar.

He wrote, “It was very intriguing these 2 greats be super competitive in everything!!”

The clip showed a highly competitive contest between Mayweather and American singer Usher. Pointing to this intensity and closeness, Tucker wrote, “This why Roger didn’t allow me and Floyd to spar; we had to secretly spar when Roger would step outside the gym or at the house in the backyard.”

Since then Tucker is shouldering the responsibility of trainer and corner man. The first time, he prepared Mayweather was for an exhibition fight against social media personality Logan Paul.
