Former MMA fighter turned celebrity boxer Anthony Taylor recently made headlines by calling out Floyd Mayweather during a press-conference.

'Pretty Boy' currently holds a professional MMA record of 7-5. However, it is worth noting that his last MMA fight was over two years ago. On the flipside, he has a boxing record of 3-3 with his most recent win coming back in October this year against Ashley Rak-Su. As of now, he is set to take on British celebrity Jack Finchman on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji.

Going into his bout against Jack Finchman, Anthony Taylor urged for a potential fight against 'Money' during the recently held Mayweather vs. Deji press-conference. While suggesting that he deserves to fight 'Money', Taylor said:

"I think what we really want to see is 'Pretty Boy' Anthony Taylor vs. 'Money' Floyd Mayweather. Now that's a fight. I'm the most qualified fighter to be fighting Floyd Mayweather in exhibition. I've fought on Showtime, some of the biggest fights y'all ever seen on pay-per-view. I deserve to fight Floyd."

Mayweather revealed that he and the organizers of Mayweather vs. Deji: Global Titans are planning to host an exhibition bout in the United Kingdom next year in February. He said:
