Training partner denies claims he KNOCKED OUT Floyd Mayweather in sparring ahead of $300m superfight

Zab Judah has denied claims he knocked out Floyd Mayweather Junior in sparring.

Mayweather was reported to have been on the canvas for at least 10 seconds after being hit by former world champ Judah during a session on Sunday.

The unbeaten pound-for-pound king has never been put down in the ring and onlookers at the Mayweather Boxing Club were said to have been astounded by what they saw.

But when asked on Twitter whether the incident took place, Judah said "that's not true".


According to the unconfirmed report on Allsports.com, one onlooker said: "Zab hit Mayweather with a good shot, a left hook to the body, and he went down.

"To my knowledge Money has never gone down ever. Not in sparring, or in the ring."
Mayweather, who faces Manny Pacquiao at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, is said to have got straight back up and beaten Judah to a "bloody pulp", something Judah has since denied.

He wrote: "That's Not True it never happen stop it."

"@maven_boxing: @SUPERJUDAH any comment on the KO you delivered to @FloydMayweather recently?" (That's Not True it never happen stop it)

The witness added: "It's not unusual for a boxer to get hit hard in training and go down. And Floyd responded well. When he got up, he finished the session.

"And he beat Zab to a bloody pulp, however he was down for more than a 10 count so technically he was knocked out."
