Throughout his career he accumulated a total of eight world titles in different categories and through the different bodies that govern the boxing world.

Who is John Gotti III?
In the other corner, Goti III, is a Mixed Martial Arts fighter and professional boxer born in 1992.
He is the grandson of one of the mob bosses in New York in the 1980s, John Gotti, but the grandson is far from that criminal side in his family.
He made his MMA debut in 2017, and switched to the world of boxing in 2020, though he has only fought twice as a pro in a ring, and both times he came out with his fist raised.
This is the second time the two will meet in the ring. In 2023 they were set to fight eight rounds of two minutes each, in a fight in which Money Mayweather dominated his opponent, when referee Kenny Bayless surprisingly stopped the fight in the sixth round.
The referee warned both fighters to stop the abusive language, which both fighters ignored, leading Bayless to stop the fight, while chaos ensued over the decision.
