Crossovers of boxers with other celebrities have become quite common in the recent times. Similarly, Rapper 50 Cent may enter the ride by fighting Floyd Mayweather inside the ring. The global celebrities have had a feud in the past and have shared banters for a brief period.

However, things became normal as Mayweather and 50 Cent took their separate paths. But looking at the ongoing scenario, we can expect a fight between the rapper and the unbeaten five-division champion, if the former makes the fighting weight.

50 cent connected with Radio.com to shed light on his future plans. Meanwhile, he also reflected opinion on his chances in a celebrity boxing against Mayweather.

While the idea allured the rapper, he didn’t see himself getting into a similar weight class with Mayweather. Speaking on it, 50 Cent said, “I don’t think I can get down”. So, it faded away his chances of entering the ring.

Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather might accept the fight easily, as he claimed that he will accept exhibition fights, moving forward. Following a Hall of Fame worthy career of 50 fights, Mayweather has retired from professional boxing. But he is still fighting Internet celebrities and MMA fighters in exhibition bouts.

What’s next for Floyd Mayweather?

The five-division champion will take on Logan Paul in a six-round exhibition fight in the future. The event was staged for February 20, 2021. However, due to lack of interest, the event has been postponed.
