Folks still consider the 45-year-old Olympic bronze medalist, a mighty fighter. The recent victim of Mayweather’s fear is Deji’s mother, Yinka.

According to her, Mayweather is a lion and the boxing ring is his den.
As of now, the boxing ring is no den anymore for the 50-0 boxer. But there was a time before his retirement when he was reigning the boxing world. He defeated the likes of the boxing greats of the modern era like the Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao, the Mexican Icon Canelo Alvarez, Oscar Delhoiya aka ‘The Golden Boy, and many more. Mayweather outclassed more than the record 24 world champions.
