Mayweather as adviser

Retired superstar Floyd Mayweather has been named “special adviser” to China’s boxing team as it looks to improve its medal count at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese Boxing Federation said. The federation said the American had pledged to “go all-out to use his influence and resources to support the Chinese boxing project in achieving excellent results at the Tokyo Olympics.” It made the announcement in a post dated on Sunday on its official WeChat account. Mayweather made no mention of the appointment on his social media accounts, and the Chinese announcement gave no further details. Mayweather had a perfect 50-0 record in the ring with 27 knockouts. He won world titles in five different weight divisions and was considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the sport.
