BLUEFACE LANDS TWO PUNCHES ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER DURING SPARRING MATCH: 'MAKE IT LOOK GOOD'

Blueface and Floyd Mayweather have been keeping up with one another in the boxing ring, and it seems as though the “Thotiana” rapper may have found a second career.

In a teaser video for the next episode of Crazy in Love, which dropped on Saturday (August 26), the pair can be seen sparring with one another, and are keenly aware that the Zeus Network cameras are following their every move.

At one point during their sparring match, Mayweather can be seen giving Blueface some boxing directions before he remarks, “nope! You gotta make it look good for TV!” which prompts laughter from everyone on the set.

Check it out below.

 

But this isn’t the first time that the two have set it off with one another in the boxing ring.

Back in May, Blueface teased this sparring session with Money Mayweather in the ring and put himself to the test against one of the best to ever do it.

“Sparring with Floyd in may weather #thezeusnetwork #crazyinlove2 #floydmayweatherpromotions,” Blue wrote underneath the Instagram pictures of his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — though his caption now suggests that this was all part of filming for the latest episode of his Zeus Network show, which airs Sunday (August 27).

His manager, Wack 100, also shared a photo of the rapper posing with Floyd after their workout, describing it as “business as usual” for the 26-year-old.

While it’s unclear who came out top in the sparring session, Blueface appeared to have impressed Mayweather with his boxing fundamentals.

“What do you think about my skills?” he asked Floyd in a video posted to his Instagram Stories, to which the boxing legend replied: “You gon’ be okay.”

Mayweather also invited Blue to his training camp so he could “sharpen” him up.

Blueface has certainly made an impression since taking up boxing in 2021. That summer, he made his amateur boxing debut against TikTok star Kane Trujillo and won via unanimous decision after three rounds.

More punches were thrown after the final bell, however, when a member of the crowd jumped into the ring immediately after the fight had finished and confronted Blue, who landed a few blows on the man before security broke up the brawl.

Following two scrapped bouts against former NBA player Nick Young and pro gamer/streamer FaZe Temperrr, the lanky Los Angeles native notched his second boxing victory after defeating British TikTok star Ed Mathews in London this past April.

Unfortunately, though, Blueface’s upcoming boxing match against Salt Papi — which was scheduled to take place on October 14 — had to be postponed thanks to 36-year-old Brandon Henry Snell, who allegedly stabbed the rapper while he was working out in California. Snell, for his part, has been arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon, though it’s unclear when he’ll be standing trial for the alleged stabbing.

SZA SHOWS OFF GYMNASTICS SKILLS IN ‘DREAM’ MEETING WITH OLYMPIAN SIMONE BILES

SZA may be one of music’s biggest stars, but her talents extend beyond the studio or stage.

In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the TDE songstress met up with U.S. gymnast Simone Biles and showcased her own skills in the gymnasium.

The clip begins with the two women embracing before SZA reveals that it had been a “dream” of hers to meet Biles, who is the most decorated gymnast in history.

The “Kill Bill” hitmaker also talks about her own past career in gymnastics before she decided to pursue music.

“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t gonna be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do.’ I needed something to be competitive at,” she says.

SZA then dusts off some of her old moves by doing a handstand alongside Biles.

The Grammy-winner also posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her and Biles backflipping into a foam pit, after which SZA says: “That was fun as shit.”

Check out both clips below.

SZA isn’t the only musician who has been participating in the Olympic buildup.

Last month, Snoop Dogg showed off his physical fitness by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s Summer Olympics track and field trials.

NBC, the broadcaster for the Olympics in the U.S., posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) of Tha Doggfather showcasing his sprinting skills in Eugene, Oregon.

In the clip, the 52-year-old rap legend busts a lung as he completes the dash while rocking a red, white and blue stars and stripes outfit, including a Kobe Bryant shirt.

After racing past the finish line, Snoop reacted to his time and came away rather impressed: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he declared.

It was previously announced that Snoop Dogg would join NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, which begin on July 26.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Snoop will speak with NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico and provide his “unique take” on the events.

He will also “explore the city’s iconic landmarks, attend Olympic competitions and events and make visits to the athletes, their friends and families.”
