FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S exhibition with John Gotti III descended into CHAOS as a brawl broke out in the ring – which needed police to step in.
The boxing legend returned for yet another non-sanctioned fight, this time with the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.

Referee Kenny Bayless warned the pair throughout to stop trading trash talk and start boxing.
But by round six they would not let up on the foul-mouthed insults to the point Bayless actually called off the action.
