Floyd Mayweather may have bitten off more than he can chew after the undefeated boxer was branded an 'Enemy for life' by John Gotti III.

Mayweather and Gotti recently competed in an exhibition boxing bout, which many had doomed to fail from the start. The fight took place in Sunrise, Florida, and was delayed due to both Mayweather and Gotti's entourages squaring off with one another inside and outside the ring.

Once they were all eventually cleared and the contest began, Floyd Mayweather Jr. once again proved why he is regarded as one of the greatest fighters alive, dominating the fight for it's entirety. Mayweather's impressive skill frustrated John Gotti throughout the bout, before the referee waved it over in the sixth round.

Mayweather and Gotti even tried to continue fighting after it was waved off but both men were kept apart by their entourage and security.

Following their clash, John Gotti III took to Instagram to insist that his beef with Mayweather was not over. As a member of the notorious New York City crime family, Gotti marked 'Money' for life and even enlisted the help of Conor McGregor, although he has since deleted the post mentioning the Irishman.

In multiple Instagram stories, Gotti wrote:

"Punk b*tch @floydmayweather. You my enemy for life."
"Bum never put me down or stopped it. It was a DQ for no reason."
"@thenotoriousmma we need back up"
