Unbeaten world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Junior says he could help Deontay beat Tyson Fury in their rematch if only he can train the former WBC heavyweight champion.
Mayweather stated this at an event in Manchester, England over the weekend.

Wilder has exercised his rematch clause with Fury and is expected to get back in the ring for a third fight with the Briton on July 18 in Las Vegas.
And when Mayweather was asked if he think Wilder will win in a rematch with Fury, Mayweather responded: “If I train him! If I train him, I can teach him how to win!”
Floyd has been especially supportive of Wilder after he lost his title to Fury on February 22.
“Win, Lose or Draw … Deontay is our brother that has accomplished many triumphs and as a community we should all uplift and support him throughout it all,” Mayweather posted on social media.
“No matter what, you’re still a winner in my eyes, King!”
Wilder has been catching flack for suggesting his 45-pound ring entrance costume had a lot to do with his poor performance against Fury … after he claimed the weight of the outfit burned out his legs.
Over the weekend, Wilder posted a new video assuring his fans he’s doing okay now — and he’s laser-focused on defeating Fury.
