Turning to Instagram, the 2-0 boxer shared a picture of himself with three of his sparring partners in the gym. He captioned the post, “16 hard rounds with [these] killas I appreciate the rounds #tmt 3/30 the count down.” Moreover, the Las Vegas resident is a familiar sight at the gym as he trains there under the mentorship of legendary Floyd Mayweather.
