Training camp is officially and finally under way. I had the unique pleasure of starting off sparring with the pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather today. Itโ€™s been two years since we last worked together in the ring, so it was fun (and an honour) to be the first person he shared a ring with since he dismantled Manny Pacquiao. Floyd was sharp, his movement was nice and flowing beautifully for the first few rounds. Floyd chatted โ€˜messโ€™ to me during the sparring, but thatโ€™s what Floyd does. You just have to enjoy the occasion. It was a pleasure and always a learning curve, to put in some rounds with him.
