John Gotti III banned for six months for brawl during Floyd Mayweather fight

John Gotti III has been banned by the Florida State Athletic Commission for his post-fight brawl with Floyd Mayweather.

Gotti, the grandson of notorious New York mob boss John Gotti, was the opponent for Mayweather's latest exhibition fight as the pair met in Miami this past weekend. Gotti was disqualified by referee Kenny Bayless in the sixth round but that didn't stop him from going at Mayweather as he charged towards the boxing legend whilst winging punches.

A wild scene then occurred with both Gotti and Mayweather's teams brawling in the ring. Troubles also carried over to the crowd and backstage as the glorified sparring match descended into chaos. Gotti has now been punished for his actions as a statement read: "The DBPR Florida Athletic Commission took immediate action the evening of Sunday, June 11, and suspended John Gotti III for six months."
