FLOYD MAYWEATHER has been called out to a $200million exhibition fight by his former protege-turned rival Adrien Broner.
The boxing legend has returned for five spectacle bouts since officially retiring in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor.

Adrien Broner is set to return on February 25th against Ivan Redkach
His most recent was in November against YouTuber Deji, 25, in Dubai, which he won in round six.
Now Broner, who was once mentored by Mayweather, wants to cash in with an exhibition against his once idol.
He said on Round Da Way podcast: “These last couple of exhibitions that Floyd has been doing, he’s been getting threes, fours, fives, eights.
“He say, ‘I got 10 million, 20 million.’ Okay, alright cool. If that’s what he say cool.
“But if me and him do an exhibition, automatically off the top, you got to give him 100million, and you’ve got to give me 100million.”
Broner, a former four-division champion, was taken under Mayweather’s wing and was once primed to inherit the American legend’s throne.
But inactivity and ill discipline out of the ring cost the current welterweight star throughout his prime.
The pair subsequently became distanced over the years amid rumours of a rift between them.
Broner, 33, is now set to return on February 25 against Ivan Redkach, 36, having not fought since February 2021.
Meanwhile Mayweather, 45, has teased a return next month while eyeing a UK boxing debut.
He told The Telegraph: “A bout is planned in the UK for 2023.
“In February we’re looking forward to coming here and putting on an exhibition for the fans in the UK, because I’ve never had a chance to come over here and fight when I was actively boxing as a professional – so hopefully in February I’ll come over and do an exhibition if it’s possible.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may have multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. You can either 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 their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Sparring
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
