    And he showed off some of his trademark reflexes and counter punching, evading shots coming his way and firing back rapidly.
    Mayweather aimed verbal digs at Jarvis, 21, throughout and boasted about his skills at the ripe old age of 45.
    At one point, he says: “I’m so sweet with this s***. Nobody can ever be better than me.
    “Come on, get back. That’s all, just light work. No matter what I’m on, I’m sweet with this s***. I’m sweet with this s***.

    Floating around the ring, Mayweather gloats: “I ain’t boxed since last year. I feel calm, I’m almost 50-years-old. I’m cold with this s***.”
    “I already beat him up this rounds, now I’ve gotta move for the rest with my good legs.”
    Jarvis, who shot to fame in the Faze YouTube clan, won his only boxing match, knocking out TikToker Michael Le, 22, in 2021.
    And he showed off the damage of trading leather with boxing royalty, revealing his cuts and bruises.

    But instead, the YouTube, music and crossover boxing star agreed to fight Dillon Danis, who later pulled out.
    Woodley, 40, leaked his proposed contract with KSI, 29, which had an agreement to weigh 175lb and a rehydration clause of 185lb.
    And he said on The MMA Hour: “The negotiation of the contract was very disrespectful, and it made me want to hurt him.
    “So I told this to his manager. I was on a call with his manager and I said, ‘Never in my life have I been disrespected like this in a contract.’”

    The plan was initially for Logan Paul, 27, to face MMA fighter Danis, 29, with KSI against Woodley.
    But Paul got injured while starring in the WWE, so KSI instead turned to Danis.
    Eventually the American former training partner of Conor McGregor pulled out.
    YouTuber Faze Temperrr, 29 instead replaced Danis but was knocked out in round one.

    KSI is set to return in the summer as he builds towards an end of year grudge match against Paul’s brother Jake, 25.
    And he included Woodley – twice beaten by Jake in the ring – alongside 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, as potential opponents.
    KSI said on Twitter: “Look, I’ve got several options. I think tomorrow I’m going to have a little call with my team, figure out what we’re going to do.
    “There’s plenty of options. We can have a few Misfits events to try and help with our options.
    “But obviously a lot of people are saying me versus Salt Papi, and you know that could be an option.
    “A lot of people are saying me and obviously Fournier, me and Woodley, etc.”

    It marks the THIRD time they have attempt to put bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records on the line.
    Fury, 23, was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
    And Paul, 26, claimed his rival missed his chance of success as he stands primed to end it all with a KO.
    He told Queensberry Promotions: “Me and my team have said it, he should have fought me back then. It would have been probably a much more competitive fight.

    “I think I still would’ve won, but I don’t know if I would’ve knocked him out. Now, he’s getting knocked the f*** out.”
    Paul first signed to face Fury in December 2021 in his fifth professional bout in Tampa.
    He was 4-0 at the time, having beat YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, as well as former UFC pair Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, 38.
    Woodley, 40, replaced Fury and was brutally knocked out by Paul in their short-notice rematch.

    The two then renegotiated for last August in New York until Fury was denied entry to America.
    Paul would go on to beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, two months later over eight rounds, his biggest win to date.
    And he insisted the time since first putting pen to paper on a fight with Fury has benefited his development more.
    Paul said: “It’s definitely helped me way more. Because like I’ve said, I’ve only been boxing for two years and 364 days as a pro.
    “So I’ve got exponentially better and beating a guy like Anderson Silva, that experience is literally priceless.
    “Going eight rounds with Anderson Silva is priceless experience and he hasn’t been in the gym dedicated like I have.
    “So I’ve definitely ran laps around him in the past year.”

    “We’re not talking about as a fighter. We’re talking about in this business, as a businessman, as a matchmaker, as a manager, just as a smart calculated man.
