Floyd Mayweather continues to attract the headlines even after dipping out of the professional boxing game in 2017 as he and his girlfriend went viral for their fancy outfits as they toured Monaco in Europe. So, who is Gallienne Nabila, and what do we know about her?

The 47-year-old athlete for all his showmanship is known for keeping his personal life strictly private meaning glimpses of potential companions are few and far between.

But Nabila is one face that has consistently popped up since 2019, even after Mayweather had began a relationship with Anna Monroe, as Nabila was spotted with him in 2021 before they became more confident in going more public since 2022.

The pair are sporadically spotted with public appearances such as shopping or travelling and they’re also regularly sighted at NBA games for the Los Angeles Clippers in California, so it seems that she is the one with his heart.

However, it will remain to be seen whether she appears at his upcoming exhibition fight against John Gotti III on August 23 in New Mexico, when Mayweather will bid to put a definitive end to the feud after his rival attacked him after the bell in 2022.

What do we know about Gallienne Nabila?

Nabila is a professional model signed to Wilhelmina Models since 2020, after previously working for Elite Model Management prior to moving to Los Angeles in 2020 and as part and parcel of being a modern model, she is also a social media influencer too, boasting 1.6m fans on Instagram.

With collaborations with Quay, Anastasia Beverly Hills and Fashion Nova, she’s proved herself to be successful enough to form her own non-profit organization called Gallienne’s Girls in 2023, which aims to guide young women and “uplift young girls to be confident.”

Nabila also doubles as a designer alongside being a model and created the Gallienne x Nalia line in 2023 which, in a collaboration with Nalia Swim, is a bathing suit line that operates in the United States and Australia.

Rafael Nadal hints potential Novak Djokovic match won’t be last

PARIS — With many from around the world giving Rafael Nadal his proverbial flowers at these Summer Olympics, the famed tennis champion tried convincing them Saturday night his career is far from over.

After putting on a strong, energetic and, at times, vintage performance in the opening round of men’s doubles matches at Roland Garros, Nadal hinted that he doesn’t think the book on his longtime rivalry with fellow Grand Slam champ Novak Djokovic is about to close.

Asked if he was ready for a potential “last dance” with Djokovic in singles competition during the Olympics, Nadal had a quick quip.

“Who say that’s last dance?” he said.

Nadal, who is representing Spain at the Olympics, made the comment to English-speaking media in the postmatch mixed zone following the 7-6(4), 6-4 victory he and doubles partner Carlos Alcaraz posted over Argentina’s Andres Molteni and Maximo Gonzalez.

The comment came moments after Nadal had also expressed uncertainty about even playing in Sunday’s opening-round singles competition against Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics.

According to The Associated Press, Nadal said: “I don’t know if I’m going to play or not.”

He added that he wanted to consult with his team after Saturday’s action “and then make the smartest decision possible to have the best chances to bring [a] medal back home.”

But if Nadal is going to bring back a medal for singles play — let alone face Djokovic for a 60th career time — he will have to play Sunday. A win over Fucsovics would advance Nadal into a second-round match against Djokovic on Monday or Tuesday.

Earlier Saturday, Djokovic, who is representing his native Serbia, said he was excited about their potential final meeting.

“If we get to face each other, it’s going to be possibly the last time we’re going to face each other on a big stage,” Djokovic said. “So I’m sure that people would enjoy it. I’m looking forward to it, and I’ll be ready for that matchup.”

Djokovic leads the all-time head-to-head series, 30-29. If he and Nadal square off in the second round, it would mark their earliest meeting at any main draw at a tour-level event.

The last time they faced each other, Nadal beat Djokovic in four sets in a 2022 French Open quarterfinal that lasted more than four hours. Nadal went on to win that Open to claim his 14th victory on the very clay courts hosting Olympics competition.

“Playing him is like finals, in any tournament,” Djokovic said. “Particularly here, knowing what he has achieved and what he’s done for our sport, but particularly here at Roland Garros, his record speaks for itself.”

In Saturday’s match, Nadal and Alcaraz played supporting yet starring roles. From the moment the pair walked onto the closed-roof courts during introductions, many in the crowd voiced vociferous support for them.

At least twice during breaks in game play, the heavily Spanish crowd erupted in chants of “Rafa! Rafa! Rafa!”

“[It was] an emotional night, an electrifying night, amazing crowd,” Nadal said. “To play with Carlos on this court has been so special. I’m just super happy about the victory. It gives us a chance to keep going.”

Regularly, the pair took moments between games to talk strategy. The veteran Nadal wasn’t always the one leading the discussions, either.

One of multiple non-French athletes to participate in the torch relay portion of Friday night’s Opening Ceremonies, Nadal has long been considered the king of Spanish tennis. Just as he nears the eventual end of his storied career, Alcaraz, 24, has stormed the world stage, appearing to be the heir to Nadal’s throne after winning four majors in the past three years.

In part because of Alcaraz’s rapid ascent, Nadal wanted to play doubles with him in Paris. But does playing with his longtime hero put pressure on Alcaraz?

“No pressure, but nerves,” Alcaraz said. “A lot.”

How Chelsea terminate Malang Sarr contract as forgotten defender joins Lens

Centre-back returns to France after making only 21 appearances for the Blues in four years

Chelsea have announced the early termination of Malang Sarr’s contract after the defender agreed to join RC Lens.

The 25-year-old former France youth international made just 21 first-team appearances in four years with the Blues. During that time, he had loan spells with Porto and Monaco.

On Friday, Lens announced the signing of Sarr on a two-year contract, including the option to extend by a further season.

Sarr played for France at every age group bar the seniors but struggled to make an impression at Chelsea after joining them from Nice in 2020.

A statement from Chelsea on Saturday evening read: “Chelsea Football Club and Malang Sarr have agreed to terminate the defender’s contract.

“The Frenchman departs Stamford Bridge having made 21 appearances since joining in August 2020. Sarr spent time on loan at Porto and Monaco during his time at the club.

Why Chelsea agree deals for Jorgensen and Anselmino

Chelsea has agreed to a deal in principle to sign Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino.

Jorgensen, 22, is set for a medical after a £20.7m fee was agreed and expected to sign a seven-year contract until 2031.

The Denmark Under-21s international was a major target of new manager Enzo Maresca, who wants an additional goalkeeper capable of using the ball well with his feet.

Jorgensen will compete to be the club’s number one, but his move puts Djordje Petrovic’s future in doubt after the Serbian stopper filled in for the injured Robert Sanchez last season as first choice.

Spaniard Sanchez spoke about facing renewed competition after he started in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Wrexham in their first pre-season match.

“You never know, but at the moment I am training hard,” said the former Brighton keeper, 26. “Another goalkeeper? I know what I can bring to the team, what I can do and I am positive in myself.”

Jorgensen is expected to join up with Chelsea for their US tour, with matches against Celtic, Club America, Manchester City and Real Madrid to come.

Meanwhile, centre-back Anselmino will cost 15.6m but will go back on loan to Boca Juniors until at least January.

The 19-year-old is regarded as an option for the future in the same vein as their other young signings from South America, like Ecuadorian teenager Kendry Paez and Brazilian Estevao Willian.

Anselmino will also sign a seven-year contract until 2031, but Chelsea can only spread the transfer fee for both players over five years in their accounts, as per Premier League rules.

Both signings will take their summer spending to around £110m, though they have brought in around £85m in sales.

Who is Floyd Mayweather’s girlfriend? What do we know about Gallienne Nabila

The pair have been linked together since 2019, two years after the boxer retired as a pro

Floyd Mayweather continues to attract the headlines even after dipping out of the professional boxing game in 2017. He and his girlfriend went viral for their fancy outfits while they toured Monaco in Europe. So, who is Gallienne Nabila, and what do we know about her?

But Nabila is one face that has consistently popped up since 2019, even after Mayweather had began a relationship with Anna Monroe, as Nabila was spotted with him in 2021 before they became more confident in going more public since 2022.

“He’ll Take It Right Back When He Gets Mad at Her”: Floyd Mayweather Buying Extravagant LV Bag for His Girlfriend Drives Fans Crazy

Floyd Mayweather Jr. splashing the cash and justifying his nickname ‘Money’ is a usual sight. The visuals of him roaming around with a bundle of cash in his hands is something the fans are used to. However, this time, the former American boxer has the fans bamboozled, as he got his girlfriend the biggest Louis Vuitton bag, while they spent some time away on a lavish vacation.

Mayweather Jr., 47, is currently on vacation with his girlfriend, Gallienne Nabila, in France. While he is away from the limelight, he is keeping his fans up to date with his vacation highlights. The fans could spot him spending some time on the French Riviera and holding some dollar bills on a yacht. The YouTube channel ‘All Urban Central’ gave more insights into their vacation, as it shared some clips collected from the internet.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. splashes cash on his girlfriend, Gallienne Nabila

In a 2-minute long YT video, the fans could witness the pair exploring Monaco first, with Nabila wearing a watch that has a price tag of $190, 000, whereas Mayweather Jr. himself donned a black watch that costs about $80,000. The YT video also showed them carrying a white Louis Vuitton bag while exploring the scenic outdoors with their entourage. It appears the boxer-turned-promoter’s daughter, Jirah Milan, had also accompanied them on the trip.

In the video, you could spot Mayweather Jr. holding a large brown LV bag, the Steamer 65 Monogram, which the video suggested he had bought for his supermodel girlfriend. The same bag found its way to the boxer’s Instagram handle as well, where he shared some snaps with it. The caption read, “This video and photo explains the kind of bags I’m getting!!”

The pair have been together since 2019. They try to keep their relationship hidden from the public eye. But they occasionally seize headlines for some incidents, such as Mayweather Jr. gifting Nabila a Mercedes Maybach on her birthday in 2022. It seems expensive gifts are a running theme between the duo, which the fans are also trying to make sense of.

The fans get candid with Mayweather Jr.’s expensive gift

One fan lent his support to the show of wealth by ‘Pretty Boy’ in the comments section of the YouTube video, as they believed he had earned it. Notably, Mayweather Jr. has crossed $1.1 billion in career earnings, and his net worth in 2024 stands at $450 million. They declared, “Fruits of labor! Show’m champ…you earned it!”

However, one user hilariously drew an imaginative scenario of the pair getting involved in a fight where Mayweather Jr. could ask for his fancy gift back. They theorized, “He’ll take it right back when he gets mad at her.”

Someone, in a joking and comical tone, expressed that they could only spot Nabila’s makeup-heavy face in those clips, where she had gone live and recorded some messages for her 1.6 million followers on Instagram. They announced, “All I see is makeup and a hand out.”

Lastly, a comment referred to the beef between Gervonta Davis and Mayweather Jr., where ‘Tank’ had floated a rumor that the latter was stuck in Dubai for non-payment of debts. The comment read, “I thought he was broke, according to Genvote. He wasn’t allowed to leave Dubai, what happened ?”

Mayweather Jr. and Nabila are still in Cannes, enjoying some time to themselves, as hinted by their Instagram stories. This might be the much-needed break for the former world champion, as he prepares for his upcoming exhibition fight rematch with John Gotti III on August 24.

What do you make of this recent vacation of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his girlfriend? Let us know in the comments below.

Why Mike Tyson breaks down and analyses every active elite heavyweight boxer including Anthony Joshua

Tyson gave an insight into the current heavyweight division.

Mike Tyson broke down the current crop of elite heavyweight boxers, including Anthony Joshua, during a chat with Joe Rogan and it’s truly fascinating.

Tyson appeared on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast in April 2022, and was asked to give his verdict on Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

He also gave his opinion on WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, as well as WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Tyson went in-depth on all four fighters, and it’s the kind of analysis you wouldn’t hear from anyone else.

Deontay Wilder

On Wilder, he said: “Having a hard punch is like having a nuclear war, but it doesn’t serve any military value if it doesn’t land on his target.”

‘The Bronze Bomber’ suffered two consecutive defeats to Fury in 2020 and 2021, despite putting up a valiant effort in both fights.

After bouncing back with a KO win over Robert Helenius, Wilder then suffered a surprise defeat to Joseph Parker in December, where a win would likely have set up a showpiece fight with Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua

Talking of Joshua, Tyson summarised: “He has never lost hope, he is still learning. That’s why he’s dangerous. Because he’s still f***ing learning.

“Joshua needs to pick up the pace, he’s got so much potential. He has got to turn those jabs into something. Joshua is no walk over. He’s going to have a beautiful life after boxing, he’s beautiful.”

Joshua is a two-time WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion, having lost the belts to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June 2019 before claiming them back the following December.

He slipped to a shock loss against Usyk in September and lost a rematch against him the following summer.

Joshua has since won his last three fights, including a fifth round stoppage of Otto Wallin in December last year.

Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson focused on Usyk’s performance in his first fight against Joshua in his analysis, stating: “Usyk is very hard to hit, he has that elite amateur level movement. It was too much for Joshua.”

After Rogan claimed that the Ukrainian moves like a lightweight, Tyson went on to suggest Wilder as a potential future opponent – although that fight seems a way away currently.

Usyk returned to his homeland of Ukraine in 2022 to help fight off invading forces from Russia.

Following a year’s inactivity after his second victory over Joshua, Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois via knockout in August, and is scheduled to fight Fury in February.

Tyson Fury

Last but not least was the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’, and ‘Iron Mike’ spoke glowingly of the WBC heavyweight champion.

Tyson admitted: “It’s weird to take him seriously, because he’s so funny. He doesn’t take fighting seriously, he laughs at people, licking the blood. What’s wrong with this guy? You’ve got to be out of your mind.

“He would be a prophet in biblical times, how do you explain how good he is? They couldn’t explain that.”

Why Floyd Mayweather puts Anthony Joshua above Mike Tyson in controversial all-time heavyweight rankings

Mayweather gave his verdict on the GOAT in the heavyweight division.

Floyd Mayweather Jr is regarded as one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters and he has made some interesting choices when naming the sport’s best ever heavyweights in a new winner stays on list.

Mayweather is rightfully viewed as a true great of the sport, with his unique style yielding 50 wins in as many professional fights. The American ended his career unbeaten, with 27 of those victories coming via a knockout.

Mayweather’s final professional bout came in 2017 when he fought Conor McGregor to claim his 50th victory with a technical knockout in the 10th round at the age of 40.

The now 47-year-old has had a series of exhibition bouts in recent years, which has included victories over Tenshin Nasukawa, Mikuru Asakura and Deji Olatunji, while he also faced Logan Paul in a non-judged bout.

When it comes to the greatest heavyweights of all-time, Mike Tyson is one of several names that immediately springs to mind.

Tyson had a total of 58 professional boxing bouts between 1985 and 2005 in a career which spanned three decades and came to a conclusion as he approached his 39th birthday.

In that time, Tyson chalked up 50 wins and experienced just six losses, with an astounding 44 victories on knockout as he demonstrated his stopping power in the ring.

Anthony Joshua has 28 wins in his 31 professional bouts so far in his career, with losses at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr and twice against Oleksandr Usyk.

Money Mayweather recently shot a video with MailOnline and took part in the popular trend of ‘winner stays on’ choices of sportspeople.

And his picks in the heavyweight division have certainly raised a few eyebrows.

Mayweather opted for Frank Bruno ahead of Deontay Wilder, before selecting Tyson ahead of Bruno.

He then went for Vitali Klitschko over Tyson, before selecting Joshua ahead of the Ukrainian.

Joe Frazier got the nod by Mayweather next up ahead of AJ, who he also backed over Usyk.

He then went for Wladimir Klitschko ahead of Frazier in the next choice, before backing Tyson Fury ahead of the younger Klitschko brother.

Mayweather selected Lennox Lewis ahead of the Gypsy King, before choosing Lewis instead of Muhammad Ali in a controversial final decision.

Paris Olympics Men’s Day 1 Predictions Including Novak Djokovic Vs Matthew Ebden

The tennis tournaments at the Paris Olympics start with 15 men’s singles matches on Saturday. 64 men will begin their quest for Gold, and we’ll rapidly get to the winner in a bit over a week. As always, we here at LastWordOnTennis will predict all of the matches for you. We split the 15 matches into four articles. The other articles feature Novak Djokovic vs Matthew Ebden, Carlos Alcaraz vs Hedy Habib, and Daniil Medvedev vs Rinky Hijikata. Predicting these matches are Damian Kust, Shane Black, and Yesh Ginsburg. Who do you think will move on to Round 2?

As a special for the Olympics, we will also be predicting all of the other Day 1 matches, including doubles. We will link to our other Olympic predictions at the bottom of the article. Enjoy!

Paris Olympics Men’s Day 1 Predictions

Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada) vs Marcos Giron (United States)

Damian:
Two players who aren’t that good in slower clay conditions, but it still feels like Auger-Aliassime is a class ahead. Giron just picked up that maiden title in Newport and might be playing a bit pressure-free here. His baseline shots just aren’t that good though and this is a surface where you need that consistent depth.
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2

Shane:
Giron is coming off his maiden title in Newport. His consistency from the ground is at an all time high. However, Auger-Aliassime has found his form over the past few months. He reached the second week of the French Open and should feel confident in his game on the clay.
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 3

Yesh:

Giron somehow always finds his best tennis for the biggest events. His best tennis isn’t enough to really trouble the Canadian, though.
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 3

Dan Evans (Great Britain) vs Moez Echargui (Tunisia)

Damian:
Echargui got this chance by winning the African Games and against most of the draw, he wouldn’t really stand a shot. Evans is very average on clay though and is in the middle of a truly horrendous season. But he knows how to peak when he’s playing for his country and will likely grind this out if he needs to.
Prediction: Evans in 2

Shane:
Evans has not had the best season, but he is the heavy favorite against the World No. 373. Echargui has only beaten one Top 100 player in his career. If Evans doesn’t implode, he should have no problem in this match.
Prediction: Evans in 2

Yesh:
Even on clay, Evans is just too good in this matchup. It won’t be close.
Prediction: Evans in 2

Damian:
Skip. Ebden hasn’t played a singles match in two years and while he was in the Top 40 back in the day, his clay win rate for the whole career is about 33%. The most interesting thing here will be whether Djokovic is wearing the knee brace, but even that won’t tell us much about his form going into the rest of the event.
Prediction: Djokovic in 2

Shane:
Is Djokovic 100% healthy? Likely not, but that should not matter in this first-round matchup. The 24x Grand Slam champion is on the hunt for Olympic Gold.
Prediction: Djokovic in 2

Yesh:
Djokovic has given no indication that he’s retiring anytime soon, but this is almost certainly his final Olympics. After winning Bronze in 2008, his Olympic results have been disappointing, to say the least. I don’t know if he can win Gold this year, but it’s his last chance for the one achievement missing from his illustrious career. He’s not falling at the first hurdle.
Prediction: Djokovic in 2

Claressa Shields issues GWOAT challenge to Taylor & Serrano

Claressa Shields has challenged Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano to fight her and settle the greatest woman fighter of all time debate.

Shields, nicknamed the GWOAT and considered one of the world’s best boxers, male or female, aims to become a four-weight world champion on Saturday.

RELATED:Claressa Shields said that Shakur Stevenson is the only boxer who can beat Gervonta Davis

Shields, 29, is undefeated in 14 pro fights and was the first fighter, male or female, to be undisputed champion in two weight classes in the four-belt era.

The two-time Olympic champion has been world champion at middleweight, light-middleweight and super-middleweight.

Irishwoman Taylor replicated Shields’ undisputed achievement last year, while Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano is a seven-weight world champion.

“Everyone is talking about who’s the GWOAT? Who’s undefeated? Who got the most belts?,” Shields added.

“Who made the million dollars last couple of time she fought? Without a promoter giving her a handout? That’s what a GWOAT is. Who fights the best?

“Who don’t struggle in fights no matter what size? Exactly.

UPDATE:Davis and Shields have had a public disagreement in the past, with Davis making derogatory comments about Shields

“All that comparison about who the GWOAT is, I can go to any weight class and win. That’s who the GWOAT is.”

The WBC title Shields challenges for is classified as ‘heavyweight’ by the sanctioning body, but it is contested at the light-heavyweight limit of 12st 7lb (175lb), hence why the fight is being advertised as both at heavyweight and light-heavyweight.
