Co-owner of Salford City, famous Sky Sports commentator, and former right-back for Manchester United Gary Neville unexpectedly stumbled upon Floyd Mayweather Jr. in London during a session on Instagram Live. While Neville interacted with his fans over Instagram in broad daylight, Floyd Mayweather out of nowhere “dumped” his car in the middle of the road and walked past Neville. In fact, a lady who accompanied ‘TBE’ also approached Neville and asked if he played football. Neville branded the incident as “surreal” and offered his fans a glimpse of ‘TBE’.

TalkSport correspondent Michael Benson took to Twitter and shared the brief clip. In the clip, Neville jokingly said, “This is surreal. Floyd Mayweather just walked in by himself. He can dump his car anywhere he wants man; he doesn’t have to ask people in London. Just throws it in the middle of the road right in the way of the number 3 bus. This is the best live video you’re gonna see by the way.

Anyway, as Benson shared the video of Gary Neville unexpectedly stumbling upon the former five-division world champion several fans reacted to it.

Watching the clip, Liam Freeman said Mayweather scarcely knew Gary Neville.
