FLOYD MAYWEATHER drives a modest £22,000 pickup truck every day because he wants to remain “low key”.

The boxing king showed off his Dodge Ram 1500 Classic on a tour of his incredible £19million Beverly Hills mansion.
Mayweather says this truck, which starts at £22,000, is the favourite motor he owns in his £20m collection
Money has an amazing underground garage at his LA mansion but his favourite car is not seen among the Bugattis and Rolls-Royces

Mayweather took fans around his two swimming pools, monster walk-in wardrobe and luxury kitchen before walking out the front of his LA home.

And it was there that he documented his love of the basic truck for the 25,000 watching on Instagram live.

Mayweather, 45, said in 2020: “My truck I drive every day. I stay low key.

“I’ve showed you some of the toys but the crazy thing about it all is, let me show you all the car I drive every day.

“I showed you guys a bunch of toys. See that right there? You can’t beat that.”

Mayweather has been part of sport’s exclusive billionaire club, alongside Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiger Woods.

But the All-American Dodge truck starts at just £22,000.

Considering he boasts a car collection worth around £20m, it’s likely that ‘Money’ may have added a couple of extras to make his truck nicer. The Dodge motor normally boasts 401hp, has a 5.7l Hemi V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Some models feature an 8.4inch touchscreen with navigation built in, a nine-speaker sound system and 20-inch chrome clad aluminium wheels. But Mayweather clearly liked the simplicity of his version.

He insisted it was his favourite vehicle before going onto show fans his enormous underground garage which featured a host of supercars.

Mayweather walked past the parked Rolls-Royces and Bugattis – all black – while admitting they had got dusty and needed a clean.

All of the 50-0 champ’s cars in LA are black and all his motors at his other mansion in Las Vegas are white.

Mayweather, who is said to be worth around £400m now, gets between the two properties on his private jet.

Punching Techniques

There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.

There are also different combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.

Legs

Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.

Elbows

Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.

Hands

Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.

Knees

When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.

Feet

When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.

Stances

Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are some of the more popular ones:

Combinations
