Floyd Mayweather's rival vows to "kill or be killed" in fight with legend

Floyd Mayweather's upcoming exhibition opponent John Gotti III has vowed to "kill or be killed" when the pair meet in the ring in Florida this summer.

The MMA fighter, who has recently made the move into boxing, is the grandson of notorious New York crime boss John Gotti and carries the family name with him into the ring. He is 2-0 as a professional and 6-1 in the cage, with Mayweather offering a monster step up this summer.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, the 30-year-old declared that he is coming for a legitimate fight, despite the usual nature of Mayweather's slow-paced exhibitions. He will have a significant size advantage over the boxing legend, standing five inches taller and last tipping the scales almost 20lb over Mayweather's career-highest weight.
