January 30, 2020, marked the debut of two YouTubers into professional boxing. Jake Paul took on Saudi Arabia-born AnEsonGib. The six-round bout stopped with ten seconds left in the first in Paul’s favor. Since then, both chalked out their routes to glory in the squared circle. AnEnsonGib carved out a space for himself with four consecutive wins.

As he prepares himself for the August 5 clash against fellow Briton KingKenny, a video of him training under the observant eyes of Jeff Mayweather seems to have gained some traction.

So the clip shows him facing former world champion and Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s uncle, wearing boxing pads in the ring. Shared by @MayweatherChannel, it begins with the veteran trainer explaining a move to the YouTuber-turned-boxer. However, to everyone’s surprise, the latter takes a quick cheeky headshot at the former IBO Super Featherweight title holder, who admonishes him playfully, “Not like that!” and bursts into hearty laughter.

Soon, realizing the goof-up, AnEnsonGib hugs Jeff Mayweather while everyone around the ring spring up, chuckling and commenting. Later, as they proceed, Mayweather tells the British YouTuber to rectify his move after the one-two combo. Someone shouts, “…too many steps….” But AnEnsonGib corrects himself, and the duo continues with the training. Since the time it came, over a thousand have viewed the YouTube short, and more than thirty liked it.

Three weeks ago, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-born Londoner Ali Loui Al-Fakhri, or more popularly, AnEsonGib, turned twenty-seven. The Internet celebrity who achieved widespread fame for FIFA YouTube videos rides high on the back of two back-to-back wins. Meeting the American YouTuber Austin McBroom for a rematch, Gib recorded his second professional win in London’s OVO Arena on April 22 during the KingPyn tournament’s quarter-finals.
