Floyd Mayweather’s trainer Gerald Tucker recently revealed an unknown fact about their recent training camp in Dubai.
Tucker released footage on Instagram taken before Mayweather fought his former sparring partner Don Moore in an exhibition in Abu Dhabi in May. In the clip, Mayweather shows off his slick hand speed at the age of 45.
In the caption of the post, Tucker, a former pro boxer, shared with his followers that he suffered an ATV injury while they were in Dubai:
“We was in Dubai wit it… @floydmayweather working magic on the mitts. At the end I had to stop because of an ATV injury..all healed now and currently getting @adrienbroner ready for an 8/20 fight in Miami vs Figueroa.”
Tucker also trains former world champion Adrien Broner, who is set to fight Omar Figueroa next month.

‘Money’ has had three exhibitions since officially retiring from professional boxing. The first was against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018. Three years later, he returned to face YouTuber Logan Paul.
The boxing Hall-of-Famer last saw action in May against Moore, who he dominated over eight rounds. He has since announced that will return in September against MMA star Mikuru Asakura.
Floyd Mayweather teases professional return
Floyd Mayweather recently announced his plans to come out of retirement later this year to take part in three box-office bouts that could earn him at least $200 million. Despite retiring nearly five years ago, he remains one of the biggest names in modern day boxing.
Speaking to FightHype.com, Mayweather revealed:
"I've got three more exhibitions this year. It could be one fight and two exhibitions. It's at least $200million."
