John Gotti III has played down his rivalry with Floyd Mayweather despite previously labelling the boxing legend his "enemy for life".
The grandson of mob boss John Gotti sparked a brawl with Mayweather after they met in an exhibition fight earlier this month. Gotti was disqualified by referee Kenny Bayless in the sixth round but that didn't stop him from continuing to wing punches at the former five-weight world champion, which led to chaos ensuing between the two teams.
Gotti wrote to Mayweather after the fight: "Punk b****, you my enemy for life. [Conor McGregor], we need back up. Bum never put me down or stopped me it was a DQ for no reason." Gotti has now backtracked on his comments in the hope of getting a rematch against Mayweather, insisting the two parties are in talks for a second meeting.
