Mayweather has been active in the exhibition boxing scene since retirement, fighting both Conor McGregor and Logan Paul
IShowSpeed, the popular Twitch streamer known for his wild challenges to professional athletes, has set his sights on one of boxing’s all-time greats: Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Following his numerous antics, including racing sprinter Noah Lyles, taking on WWE’s Randy Orton, and sparring with Manny Pacquiao, IShowSpeed is now eyeing an exhibition match against the undefeated former world champion.
In a recent interview with NFL legend Shannon Sharpe, IShowSpeed discussed the possibility of fighting Mayweather. When asked if he would face the boxing icon in an exhibition bout, the 18-year-old didn’t hesitate.
“Yes,” he responded confidently.
“I believe, but I’m a Manny Pacquiao fan. I think Manny Pacquiao is the GOAT in boxing, in my opinion… I take Manny over Floyd.”
Despite his admiration for Pacquiao, IShowSpeed was still excited by the idea of facing Mayweather. Sharpe, eager to stir up the conversation, quickly called on Mayweather to make the match happen.
“Floyd, make it happen,” Sharpe urged, while IShowSpeed followed up with a direct challenge.
“Floyd, hey Floyd, you don’t want the work either, bro. I promise you, Floyd. 6 months, let’s go.”
IShowSpeed would be ready to face Mayweather within six months
IShowSpeed remained firm in his intentions, stating that if Mayweather’s team reached out for a potential match, he would be ready to go.
“100%,” he confirmed, adding that he had been looking forward to an opportunity like this for a long time.
Sharpe, recalling Mayweather’s previous exhibition fight with Logan Paul, seemed to hint that the 50-0 champ might consider a challenge from IShowSpeed.
IShowSpeed acknowledged the possibility but expressed doubt about Mayweather taking up the offer, suggesting that Floyd may be “scared” of facing him.
