Floyd Mayweather Fires Referee mid Fight Against John Gotti III

• Floyd Mayweather was dominant in his latest exhibition fight against John Gotti III, the grandson of a former mob boss in Mexico
• The retired boxer had to switch the referee hallway through the fight as he emerged as the unofficial winner
• The American legend faced Gotti III last year, but their bout ended in a confrontation in the ring

In a bizarre turn of events, the legendary Floyd Mayweather dismissed a referee in the middle of his rematch against John Gotti III in Mexico.

The two boxers were facing each other for the second time after their 2023 bout ended in extraordinary circumstances.

In the fight held on Saturday in Mexico City, the 47-year-old dominated the fight, and Gotti's lack of offence was received by boos from an expectant crowd.

Their last fight in 2023 ended in a bowl, and the latest showdown was heading the same route after referee Hector Afu from Panama exited the ring in the second round and was replaced by Alfredo Uruzquieta of Mexico, per BBC Sport.
