John Gotti III vows that the "real" Gotti will come out during his clash with Floyd Mayweather
Floyd Maywaether vs. John Gotti III is set to go down for a second time on Aug. 24 in Mexico City. Given the chaotic end to their first clash, the air is thick with anticipation as to how their rematch will unfold.
Gotti III recently reflected on his first bout with 'Money' during an interview with Sports Illustrated. He stated that he was too gun shy against the former world champion in their first clash, and promises to be more willing to trade punches in their upcoming fight.
The 31-year old shared his preview for fight night, saying this:
"I’m one of only two other fighters to have a rematch against Floyd. He’s one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up boxing gloves. Being in the ring with someone of that caliber, the challenge excites me... I’ve seen his best, he hasn’t seen mine. Last time, I was timid. He’ll see the real me on August 24, and I’m intrigued to see how he handles that."
