Floyd Mayweather trains cancer-stricken campers in boxing: ‘An experience they will never forget’
Floyd Mayweather delivered a knockout visit to a group of campers diagnosed with cancer.
Page Six can exclusively reveal that the undefeated boxer stopped by Chai Lifeline’s Camp Simcha in Glen Spey, NY, on Wednesday, and trained with the kids in a specially built ring that featured the empowering message: “Knock out cancer.”
Photos obtained by Page Six show Mayweather, 47, wearing his full boxing paraphernalia in the ring with his trainees, who were also outfitted with the proper equipment.
The professional athlete also helped kids wrap their hands and lace up their gloves before stepping into the ring.
“Our children are fighters in their own right, battling illness year-round. Floyd’s visit was truly special and inspiring for the,” Chai Lifeline CEO Rabbi Simcha Scholar tells Page Six.
“He is a champion both in and out of the ring, and we thank him for giving our campers an experience they will never forget.”
We’re told the 50-0 fighter also delivered motivational talks and participated in engaging activities “that lifted the spirits” of the campers and proved to be a game-changing experience for them.
He offered “encouragement and hope to those who look up to him not only as a sports icon but also as a symbol of perseverance and strength,” our insider shared.
Mayweather, whose estimated net worth is around $400 million, has a history of generosity, once having tipped each cook at Catch Las Vegas $300.
“He personally thanked everyone,” a source told us at the time. “The cooks were ecstatic and thankful!”
