IShowSpeed discussed the possibility of fighting the undefeated former world champion after requesting to race sprint sensation Noah Lyles

IShowSpeed has set his sights on fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr, one of boxing's all-time greats.

Following his numerous antics, including racing Paris Olympics 100m champion Noah Lyles and sparring with Manny Pacquiao, IShowSpeed is now eyeing an exhibition match against the undefeated former world champion.

In a recent interview with NFL legend Shannon Sharpe, IShowSpeed discussed the possibility of fighting Mayweather. When asked if he would face the boxing icon in an exhibition bout, the 18-year-old didn't hesitate. "Yes," he responded confidently in a Shay Shay podcast.

The popular Twitch streamer known for his wild challenges to professional athletes, acknowledged the possibility but expressed doubt about Mayweather taking up the offer, suggesting that Floyd may be "scared" of facing him. "I believe, but I'm a Manny Pacquiao fan. I think Manny Pacquiao is the GOAT in boxing, in my opinion... I take Manny over Floyd."

Despite his admiration for Pacquiao, IShowSpeed was still excited by the idea of facing Mayweather. Sharpe, eager to stir up the conversation, quickly called on Mayweather to make the match happen. "Floyd, make it happen," Sharpe urged, while IShowSpeed followed up with a direct challenge. "Floyd, hey Floyd, you don't want the work either, bro. I promise you, Floyd. 6 months, let's go."

IShowSpeed remained firm in his intentions, stating that if Mayweather's team reached out for a potential match, he would be ready to go. "100%," he confirmed, adding that he had been looking forward to an opportunity like this for a long time.
