Birthday boy to train in Floyd Mayweather’s gym two days before the Fight of the Century

LONDON light-middleweight Chris Baugh will celebrate his 27th birthday in style by training in Floyd Mayweatherโ€™s gym just days before the American goes to war with Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand.

The unbeaten prospect, 4-0 (3), will train at the Las Vegas gym on Thursday April 30, two days prior to the โ€˜Fight of the Centuryโ€™.

โ€œAfter four fights since turning pro in November Iโ€™m taking a short break and heading over to Vegas for my birthday and catch the biggest fight in boxing history,โ€ Baugh told Boxing News.

Like many others, Baugh, whose nickname is โ€œThe Bullโ€, failed to get tickets for the May 2 extravaganza but will be watching on closed circuit screens.

โ€œI’ve managed to get tickets to watch the fight on the sold out closed circuit projection inside the MGM, which is going to be a crazy experience, and I’m also going to be hitting the Mayweather gym to do a bit of training and hopefully pad work as well.

โ€œNot a bad way to celebrate making it 4-0 and turning 27!

โ€œLike every fighter coming through the ranks Floyd and Manny are two of my heroes so I can’t wait to get out there and soak it all up.โ€
