Former world champion in two weight categories Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31 KOs) has lost thirty kilograms and is waiting for the end of the coronavirus pandemic to return to the ring after a six-year break. Rumor has it that for the third time he may meet Floyd Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs), who is also preparing to return from retirement. Meanwhile, the Argentine claims that he has an unusual souvenir - Mayweather’s tooth.
Shortly after the bell sounded for the end of the third round in the rematch, in which Maidana lost to Floyd in September 2014, El Chino dealt a strong right hand. Video replay showed that something flew out of Mayweather’s mouth after this blow - at least that was it looked like. Many fans claimed that Mayweather lost his tooth in that episode. Maidana adheres to this version too. According to the Argentinean tooth was found and is currently in his possession. In the photo posted on social networks, you can see that the fang was “inlaid”, and perhaps soon we will see it as a necklace on the neck of “El Chino”. Mayweather has always refuted the "legend of a flying tooth."
“When Maidana hit me after the bell in the third round, it was a really strong punch. I felt it. But he didn’t knock my tooth out, of course not, although he is a strong guy and a powerful puncher,” said one of the best boxers of all time.
