Legendary American boxer Floyd Mayweather has once again shaken up the boxing world by demanding an immediate rematch against John Gotti III following a dramatic eighth-round knockout in a fight that has shocked fans and critics alike. What has further ignited the controversy is that this fight was held in secret, with a staggering purse of $35 million at stake.

The fight, which was staged out of the spotlight of mainstream media, has sparked speculation about the nature and arrangements behind the fight. According to sources close to Mayweather’s team, the boxer, known as “Money,” was not happy with the unexpected outcome of the bout, which ended abruptly after a well-placed punch from Gotti III. While the knockout was legitimate, the intensity of the fight left many questions unanswered, including whether Mayweather underestimated his opponent or whether there was some sort of incident that affected his performance.

The showdown between the 47-year-old Mayweather and Gotti III, grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti, captured the attention of those lucky enough to catch the event. While many expected Mayweather, undefeated in his career with a 50-0 record, to dominate the younger Gotti, the surprise came when Gotti threw an unexpected punch that led to the downfall of the boxing legend.

Some eyewitnesses claim that the pace of the fight favoured Mayweather, but Gotti’s rapid escalation of aggression in the final moments of the eighth round changed the course of the fight. The surprise on Mayweather’s face when he received the final blow was evident, and it is no surprise that he is now looking for an opportunity to redeem himself.

True to his competitive style, Mayweather wasted no time in issuing a direct challenge to Gotti III. “I’m not retiring like this. I want a rematch, and I want it now,” declared Mayweather, visibly frustrated by the unexpected defeat. Inside sources indicate that Mayweather’s team is already working on negotiations to organize the rematch, which promises to be one of the most talked about events of the year, if confirmed.

Gotti III, for his part, has shown confidence and is ready to accept the challenge. “I am ready for anything. Mayweather is a great boxer, but this time it was my turn. If he wants another fight, I am willing,” said the young Gotti after his victory

With a possible rematch on the horizon, boxing fans are eager to see if Mayweather can reclaim his place as the undisputed champion or if Gotti III is destined to write his own legend in the sport. One thing is certain: with $35 million on the line and the pride of both fighters at the center of the stage, the upcoming bout promises to be even more explosive than the first.

The date of the rematch has not yet been confirmed, but rumors point to it being possible before the end of the year, possibly at a secret venue like the first fight. Meanwhile, the boxing world is anxiously awaiting Gotti III’s response and Mayweather’s next move.
