Former cruiserweight world champion Johnny Nelson has jokingly claimed YouTuber Rashed 'Money Kicks' Belhasa looks like a baby ahead of his professional debut.
'Money Kicks', who has won two white-collar bouts in his home country of Dubai, will make his full debut on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's world heavyweight title rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night. He opens the night against Traycho Georgiev, much to the chagrin of hardcore boxing fans who believe YouTubers shouldn't be given spots on major cards.
And Nelson, who is working on the Sky Sports Box Office broadcast for this weekend's event, told today of how he was contacted to commentate on Belhasa's once slated exhibition bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. The 50-0 fighter had been toying with the idea of facing the YouTuber earlier this year after facing Logan Paul in 2021, but the event fell through.
