“He wanted to rip Floyd’s head off”: John Gotti III predicts the reaction of his late grandfather, who is also a boss of the crime family, and seeks revenge in the rematch between Floyd and Mayweather

For a show fight, it was one of the most dramatic endings – if there was one at all, as some fans may ask. After his less well-publicized fight against the reality TV star Aaron Chalmers, Floyd Mayweather Jr. focused on John Gotti III on June 11th last year. The eight-round bout in Florida could have ended like most exhibition fights. If it hadn’t been for the trash talk the two were exchanging, the whole thing soon escalated into a major brawl in the ring and in the arena.

Fortunately, a few days after the big commotion, tempers calmed down and everyone regained their composure. Talks about a rematch between Mayweather Jr. and Gotti III have been going on since last year. In June, the official announcement was finally made. The duo will step into the ring again on August 24th at the Arena CDM in Mexico City. In an interview with TMZ, John Gotti III revealed some details about the upcoming fight.

Fighting for his legacy: John Gotti III

Gotti II spoke about his training. He revealed how time has passed since his last fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. It gave him some much-needed space to reflect and think about his approach if a rematch ever happens. He also revealed how he felt and what was going through his mind when he entered the ring opposite a living legend like Mayweather Jr.

As the show was coming to an end, the reporter asked: “I know your grandfather appreciated a big show. What do you think he would have said about his grandson’s fight against Floyd Mayweather?“As most fans know, John Gotti III’s grandfather was the late John Gotti, once the head of the New York-based Gambino crime family.

According to the mixed martial artist turned boxer, his grandfather would have found the duel rather amusing.”He wanted to rip Floyd’s head off, you know, when all this happens,” added the Oyster Bay resident. Ultimately, however, John Gotti had nothing but admiration for his grandson’s determination and fighting spirit.

The former head of the Gambino family would have understood. Whatever his grandson did, it was to defend and honor their name.”I fight to have my name respected and to have a positive influence on my family, so I’m sure he appreciates that.“, concluded Gotti III.

Defeat the undefeated

At the beginning of the interview, John Gotti II revealed that he is wrapping up his training camp and moving on to some final sparring sessions. Next week, he and his team plan to move to Mexico City. He looked back on his last fight in June with “The Money”. He said it was the biggest fight of his young boxing career, which began barely two years ago. The former world champion’s tactic of taunting him seemed to work and pushed him to his limits. But this time, Gotti III felt more prepared. He knows what to expect from a masterful boxer like Mayweather Jr.

John Gotti III expressed confidence and also spoke about his motivation and chances of winning the fight. He believes he has improved significantly since their last meeting and feels mentally stronger. Whether it is a professional or exhibition fight, it will be a first for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Gotti III in Mexico City. Fans will be watching closely to see if Gotti III can be the first man to turn the tables on an undefeated boxing legend in a new venue.
