Floyd Mayweather In Tears Of Joy, As He Is Inducted Into International Boxing Hall Of Fame

 

Floyd Mayweather is now inducted into the Hall of Fame. At the induction ceremony, he expressed his gratitude towards his father for introducing him to boxing.

After winning every belt throughout his career, the former boxer made the Hall of Fame along with legends Wladimir Klitschko and Andre Ward. The boxer could not hold back tears of joy.

"I said that I wouldn't cry," Mayweather said.

"This is unbelievable. This is one of the best days of my life.

"I love my dad because without him this wouldn't be possible for me."

Accepting the honour, Mayweather said: “I done a lot in my career, but this is by far the best,” crediting his mum, dad and sister for much of his success.

“I want to thank the International Boxing Hall of Fame for giving me this. This right here is going to my dad because he deserves it. Bernard Hopkins said it best — `You’ve got to earn it.′ — and my dad earned this ring.

“I want to say thank you to everybody for your support. I want to tell all the fighters — thank you, you guys are remarkable. There wouldn’t be no me without you guys.”

Mayweather hung up his gloves in 2017 after beating Conor McGregor to register an impressive 50-0 record, with his victories over legends Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez being the ones to stand out.

Following his retirement, Mayweather has participated in some exhibition fights such as the bouts against Don Moore, famous YouTuber Logan Paul and Tenshin Nasukawa.

On stage, as he struggled to contain his emotions, he was comforted by Laila Ali, the daughter of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, who was a fantastic fighter in her own right.

His next exhibition fight will reportedly take place in Japan.
