Floyd Mayweather calls out 50 Cent and Jake Paul after insisting he will return to ring in 2021

FLOYD MAYWEATHER says he wants to fight 50 Cent and Jake Paul in mouthwatering boxing exhibitions this year.

The Money is scheduled to square off against Jake’s brother Logan first, but that won’t happen this month now having been ‘postponed for business reasons’.

But Mayweather isn’t let that get him down, and has already two more huge fights in mind before the year is out.

The undefeated boxer posted fight posters on his Instagram account for him versus Jake Paul and him versus 50 Cent.

He wrote alongside each: “This year I will focus on several exhibitions. I will have an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan again.

“Of course the one with Logan Paul and I; and if Jake Paul can get past his next opponent Ben Askren, I will have an exhibition with him as well.

“I also heard that 50 Cent would fight me but claims I’m too small.

“If he wants to lace up at the end of the year, we can do an exhibition then.

“I don’t care about weight class with any of these guys.

“The Paul brothers will make great money with the events, but with 50 Cent It has to be ‘Winner Take All’.”

Mayweather and 50 cent have had a very public fallout

If Mayweather does box 50 Cent, it would be just the next chapter in their long-running feud, which dates back to 2012.

For much of Mayweather’s career, 50 Cent was an ever-present member of his entourage, in training camp and on fight nights.

The music artist would rap the boxing legend into the ring and featured heavily on HBO’s behind-the-scenes ’24/7′ series.

But in 2012, when Mayweather went to prison, Jackson claims to have helped set up The Money Team and says he was owed $2million.

When Mayweather was released and showed no signs of paying up the trouble started, according to 50 Cent.

Jackson has repeatedly accused Mayweather of running out of money – despite the 50-0 icon topping Forbes rich list of the decade with a £706m fortune.

Mayweather’s last exhibition fight was a laughable one-sided encounter against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan in 2019.

He retired from boxing undefeated after beating UFC legend Conor McGregor by KO in his last ever pro fight in 2017.
