Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo making call-outs to athletes and boxers outside MMA has become somewhat of a norm as of late. The ‘King of Cringe’ is back to calling out boxers on social media with his latest post. He sent a message to Floyd Mayweather and expressed a desire to fight him under the pretext of starting a YouTube channel.

Chiefly, he’s been after several top names in boxing, most frequent amongst his list being Ryan Garcia. ‘Money’ Mayweather hasn’t necessarily been on Henry Cejudo’s radar until now, however, he’s sure to double down in the future. Boxing Floyd Mayweather is clearly not out of the realm of possibility after looking at Conor McGregor securing the fight in 2017.

While he continues to pursue bouts against famed boxers and athletes, Henry Cejudo’s first love remains MMA and wrestling. ‘Triple C’ has constantly left the door open to making a comeback to the UFC for the right fight. He’s currently targeting a move to the featherweight division to take on Alexander Volkanovski for his gold belt.

Alexander ‘The Great’ is open to the idea of taking on Cejudo, who clearly hopes to become the first three-division champion.
