John Gotti III has teased a second meeting with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather after their first fight ended in a mass brawl.
Gotti and Mayweather fought earlier this month, but the contest had to be stopped by referee Kenny Bayless after the pair frequently engaged in heated verbal exchanges.
As a result of the abrupt ending, Gotti attacked Mayweather prompting the teams of both fighters to brawl in the ring.
Since that night in Florida Gotti has since revealed that he has smoothed things over with the 46-year-old.
"He wanted to talk, and I wanted no part of it,” Gotti said when speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.
“I didn’t want to talk to him. My father, however, went to his locker room, and they talked and hashed it out. Listen, there’s no animosity toward Floyd. I said he was my enemy for life out of anger, but he’s not my enemy.
“He did his job. His job is to entertain and box, and so is mine. I still have respect for Floyd. Even at 46, you see him in the ring, how great he is. At 46 his reflexes are phenomenal...his speed. Listen, it was a great experience to share the ring with Floyd. It’s a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life, that’s for sure. ...
“It got diffused. We’re good. We’ve been speaking. My father’s been in touch with their team, and there’s no bad blood here. It’s business. We did what we had to do, and we squash it and move on.”
With a more amicable relationship being struck between Gotti and Mayweather, the former is hoping he can secure a rematch after the first fight caught the attention of the boxing world.
"We’re in talks right now, actually, to do something,” Gotti teased.
“So we’ll see where it goes. From what I understood, after the fight, it was the most Googled thing in the whole world.
“Floyd’s a businessman. Floyd wants to capitalize on that. He wants to make money. So if they want to do it again, I’m here, and I promise you this time, I’m going to come out guns blazing as soon as that bell rings, and we’re going to fight now.”
