Floyd Mayweather Jnr gets an early Christmas present as the retired boxer is given a two-month old tiger.
Current holder of the WBA, WBC and WBO welterweight titles, Floyd Mayweather, who announced his retirement after beating Andre Berto in September to take his record to 49-0, has been pictured holding a tiger on a lead.
The 38-year-old was pictured sitting on the top of a marble staircase with the young tiger laying down next to him attached to a leash. The big cat had been given to Mayweather as a present and he invited his fans to suggest names for his pet.
'I want to thank my family @themoneyteamrussia here in Moscow, Russia for the hospitality & my early Christmas present, a rare & exotic tiger from India. Any suggestions for a name for this two-month old, female tiger?'
