Tyson Fury backed YouTuber Money Kicks to knock out Floyd Mayweather in a potential exhibition fight. The WBC champion also volunteered to trade shots with Mayweather’s heavyweight pals if he has got any.

While ‘The Gypsy King’ is preparing for his return to the ring against Dillian Whyte, he sent a message to the five-division world champion and challenged him.

Sitting beside Rashed Belhasa aka Money Kicks, Fury said, “What I have got to say, you know, Floyd Mayweather might be the money man, but now he is going to make Money Kicks. So you know if he wants the big money, he knows where it is in the middle east. Get your a** over here, Floyd.”

“That’s the challenge and if you’ve got any heavyweight pals as well, I will knock them out, too.”

Belhasa, who is supposedly in talks to face Mayweather, clearly got hyped up after being backed by ‘The Gypsy King’. He promised to knock out Floyd Mayweather, paving the road to an intriguing scrap.

We are yet to hear anything official from TBE’s end. After a below-average performance against Logan Paul in 2021, Mayweather may take some time to step through the ropes again. But he has reportedly hit the gym and is back to honing his skills.

Tyson Fury and Floyd Mayweather have never been friends

‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘Money’ have been the best in their respective weight categories. However, they don’t appear to be on good terms. While Fury has called out Mayweather to bring in his friends for a fight, ‘TBE’ had belittled the Lancashire native in the past.
