Influencer boxing is a lot of hype in the sport. Almost every social media influencer seems to have been trying their hands at boxing for the last few years. And Jake Paul is one of those who can be credited for playing a pivotal role in bringing influencer boxing to the mainstream. Ali al Fakhri, known by his online personality, AnEsonGib, is a prominent YouTuber turned boxer. He is widely recognized among boxing fans for delivering exhilarating performances. His fans love Fakhri and would love to see him return to the ring.

There were a lot of rumors about Gib fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr., but there has been no confirmation. The fans share their thoughts on the duo ever clashing in the ring.

Is AnEson Gib fighting Mayweather Jr.?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been active since he retired from professional boxing in 2017. The former champ indulges in exhibition bouts to keep himself involved with the sport and not let retirement get in the way of his love for the sport. However, Mayweather Jr. was rumored to fight the YouTuber star, AnEson Gib, in an exhibition bout, but the fight never came to fruition.

AnEson Gib last fought at the Crypto.com arena last year, winning his bout via knockout against a fellow YouTuber named Austin McBroom. Since then, Gib has not stepped into the ring and will be seen in the ring soon by his fans. He recently shared a video revealing his next boxing endeavor to the fans. According to the video, he was offered a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., but the YouTuber refused. Ahead of his bout with McBroom, Mayweather Jr. sent a message to Gib.
