Will Smith Leaks His Private Conversation With Floyd Mayweather Following 2022 Oscars Fiasco

Will Smith shared his private conversation with Floyd Mayweather that was initiated by the latter on a phone call following the infamous slap incident at the Oscars earlier this year.

The legendary actor is capturing folks’ attention for the first time after getting secluded to a corner following the Oscars. His new movie ‘Emancipation’, a historical drama, is going to hit the screen in December. The movie’s trailer is out and is earning admiration for its content from all around and it has also put Smith again in the run for Oscars for his phenomenal acting.

Before the release, Smith is busy with the private screening of the movie. A glimpse of it could be seen on social media platforms.

The latest screening took place in Los Angeles. After this, ‘The King Richard’ star was captured talking about the former five-weight division champ.

“I want to say something also about Floyd. So, we’ve met each other, we’ve seen each other around, but we weren’t, you know, like friends. And the day after the Oscars, for 10 days he called me every day. And he was like, ’Ay, you know you the champ, right? You good? You know you the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it. Every day he called me, and it’s like that’s my dude forever right there,” Smith said.

This year’s Academy Award Ceremony brought the best actor award to Smith for his iconic acting, but it also pushed him into mental trauma due to the slapping incident. Criticism from all around put Smith in a difficult time. Though he apologized to Chris Rock, it made no difference.

Fortunately, he got a few people around him who keep supporting him. Mayweather was one such fellow who encouraged him to gain strength.

Floyd Mayweather: The upcoming fight

Mayweather seems to be more active in the ring than he used to be when he was not retired. This year the former champ is heading to put on a big-money exhibition for the third. He is all set to square off with the YouTube star Deji on 13 November 2022 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

Before this, he fought Don Moore and Mikaru Asakura earlier this year. These exhibitions are allowing him to make an easy hefty sum. Along with this, it is also helping in the promotion of boxing matches.
