Boxing champ filmed in fight with US rapper

Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather has been filmed brawling with rapper T.I. over a photo the musician’s wife posted to Instagram.

Fists and chairs can be seen flying in a video taken by a witness at a Fatburger restaurant outside a Las Vegas strip club early on Sunday morning.

TMZ reports the fight came after T.I.’s wife Tameka shared a photo of her with Mayweather’s daughter and the caption: “Had to come celebrate with my new boo”.

Witnesses say T.I. approached Mayweather at a table and started abusing the boxer, saying the photo disrespected him.

T.I. allegedly threw the first punch at the undefeated boxer, who later yelled out “control your b----“ as he drove away.

TMZ claims T.I. feared the photo showed Mayweather was “getting too close” to his wife.
