Las Vegas was rocked this morning by an unbelievable tragedy: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. – the “undefeated” boxer – died just 15 minutes ago in a horrific supercar accident. The neon-lit avenue suddenly turned into a fiery hell when his red Ferrari lost control, crashed into the median strip and exploded. Flames dozens of meters high, thick black smoke billowed over the street corner, causing residents and tourists to panic and flee.
Eyewitnesses recounted: “It sounded like a bomb going off, I saw the Ferrari spin many times before the collision. The flames engulfed the car in just a few seconds.” Another person burst into tears: “When we realized it was Floyd Mayweather, everyone was screaming his name, but the police had to put up a cordon because it was too dangerous.” Paparazzi who followed Floyd’s schedule from the casino earlier captured the shocking scene: flashbulbs flashing through the smoke, fans crying and falling to their knees in the street.
Ambulance and fire engine sirens blared, paramedics rushed to the scene in fire-resistant suits. Firefighters sprayed high-pressure water to control the sea of flames, while paramedics pulled Floyd from the pile of charred metal. He was motionless, his face covered in smoke, his body convulsing. An oxygen mask was hastily placed on him, CPR was performed on the sidewalk cracked by the heat. The heart compressions were counted in rapid succession, the rotating blue and red lights illuminated the night, but the mobile monitor only showed a lifeless straight line. A medical staff member whispered: “We lost him…”
At Sunrise Hospital, the bright white ICU was extremely tense. Doctors continued to shock him, adrenaline was injected directly into his heart, the alarm beeped repeatedly. But after several minutes of exerting all their strength, the cold announcement was made: “Floyd Mayweather died on the spot from multiple organ injuries and severe burns.”
The bad news immediately spread globally. Twitter, Instagram, TikTok exploded with the hashtags #PrayForFloyd and #GoodbyeMayweather, climbing straight to the top trending in minutes. Mike Tyson wrote: “A warrior has fallen outside the ring,” Canelo Álvarez choked: “I lost a legend, the world lost an icon.” The US President said: “Floyd was not only an undefeated boxer, he was also a living legacy of American strength and glory.”
Thousands of fans immediately flocked to the scene on Las Vegas Boulevard, carrying white flowers and candles. The sea of people lit up the street, crying and praying. Police had to block many roads when the crowd jostled, to the point that a security fence collapsed, and several fans suffered minor injuries. The chaos only made the tragedy more breathtaking.
Las Vegas Boulevard, which was once a place of bright lights and music, was now only ashes and tears. The cold ICU stopped beating, outside the sea of candles burned tragically. Floyd Mayweather – the undefeated legend – left this world in flames, leaving a void that can never be filled in the hearts of fans around the world.
