John Gotti III breaks silence after Floyd Mayweather fight descended into chaos

John Gotti III has declared that Floyd Mayweather is now an "enemy for life" after the pair's exhibition bout descended into chaos in Florida last night.

The pair met in an un-scored bout that wouldn't appear on either of their undefeated professional records at the FLA Live Arena, but there was an heated air to proceedings from the bell. Gotti had been offended by a joke Mayweather made during their weigh-in, and the boxer appeared to be going for the stoppage early as he pushed the pace.

But midway through the sixth round, the MMA fighter who comes from one of America's most famous crime families, was disqualified by referee Kenny Bayliss after holding and trash talking incessantly. This angered the New Yorker, who continued throwing punches, eventually inciting a brawl in and out of the ring.
