The WBA champion even threatened to FIGHT Mayweather after the retired legend spent time training Devin Haney.

But with Davis preparing to face Leo Santa Cruz in October, the American was captured in Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym learning some of his mentors old tricks.

Mayweather – who is continuing his transition into a trainer – drills lead hooks and uppercuts with his fighter.

Fans on Twitter hailed the 43-year-old as “inspirational”.

Davis has asked to be released by Mayweather in the past, following frustrations at not being matched up against high-profile opponents.

And despite linking up for training sessions, Adrien Broner, also a former protege of Mayweather, says the fighter and promoter do not get on.

Broner said on the Wyatt Promotions’ Wyatt Live podcast: “They don’t like each other. They really don’t.

“Like I said, me and ‘Tank’ we’re the same. He a little bit more quiet than me.

“When we’re (Broner and Mayweather) together, we can only be together for two, three days, and then we clash.”
