Easter also credits Floyd Mayweather for playing a pivotal role in his career. “Floyd has been an amazing mentor. His advice and support have been invaluable, both inside and outside the ring. He’s always pushing me to be the best version of myself, and having his guidance means the world to me.”

With his perfect record and a reputation for electrifying knockouts, Easter urged fans to arrive early to catch his fight. “If you haven’t watched me fight before, you’re in for something special. My power and style do all the talking. Be sure to grab your seat early because this fight will nothing short of amazing.”
