Rapper says ‘Floyd is like a brother to him’

Actor and Hip Hop star Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has taken to his Twitter account once again to stir up some more attention for himself and Floyd Mayweather by stating their recent spat on the social networking site was fake.

Jackson, who is said to be rivalling Mayweather with his own promotional company ‘SMS Promotions,’ claims that the pair we just aiming for ‘shock-value’ when slating each other with some torrid insults recently.

“I'm sick of all this nonsense,” said Jackson. “Floyd asked me to act like were fighting cause no one was paying any attention after his 60 days (incarceration).

“I know some of the things we do in hip hop for shock value are wrong. He just wanted some attention - Floyd is like a brother to me.”

Mayweather himself is yet to speak on the statement by Jackson and both are still not following each other on the site where they boast over three million and eight million followers respectively.

Whether that was Jackson’s way of apologising for his part in the argument remains unanswered and it will now be interesting to see how Mayweather responds to his former best friend's latest tweet session.

The Tragedy of Billy Collins Jr.

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  Collins after the fight Williams Ray Collins Jr. or Billy Collins Jr. as he became known, was born to a boxing father in Antioch, Tennessee in 1961. His father William Sr, once fought Welterweight Champion Curtis Cokes and wanted his boy to follow in his footsteps, so decided to train Billy himself. Collins Jr. turned pro in 1981, a welterweight, just like his father before him and impressively won his first 14 professional contests, 11 by knockout with eight inside the first three rounds. It was 1983 and Billy was matched up against Puerto Rican journeyman Luis Resto on the undercard of Roberto Duran v Davey Moore at Madison Square Garden in a ten rounder. Resto wasn’t known for his punching power but Billy took a sustained beating for the full ten rounds, his face, badly damaged and his eyes were almost shut. After the fight, which Resto won on decision, Billy’s father shook Resto’s hand and noticed there wasn’t much padding in his gl...

Rico Ramos captures world super- bantamweight title with KO

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor ‘Suavecito’ scores 20th straight win over Shimoda Undefeated Californian Rico Ramos produced a world-class left hand in the seventh round of his WBA title challenge against Japan’s Akifumi Shimoda to rip the belt away from the older southpaw in his first defence. The 24 year-old looked far from a world champion in the first five rounds, only gaining a foothold in the fight in round six, but ultimately produced the equalizer in the seventh to take the crown. Shimoda, 26, will be furious with himself as he bossed the majority of the fight and was up five rounds to one on my card going into the seventh round. One lapse in concentration with only thirty seconds left in round seven and Shimoda hit the canvas. The champion tried to get up at the count of nine, but stumbled over and the referee counted him out. The now former champion stayed down for a full minute before being helped to his feet and realising he no longer held the WBA belt. Also on the card i...
