Wight Recalls Mayweather Punch: 'Run, I'm 70% Viking!'

Paul Wight, also known as the World's Largest Athlete, recently reflected on his memorable 2008 encounter with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather during WrestleMania XXIV. Wight recounted advising Mayweather to 'run' after their staged confrontation, humorously alluding to his Viking ancestry and a potential violent reaction. He described Mayweather's surprising speed and precision during the staged punch, noting that what felt like a few taps was actually multiple impacts.

In a separate anecdote from the same interview, Wight shared a personal story from his childhood. At nine years old, he received a birthday cake from his sister that he disliked due to its licorice decoration. His ungrateful reaction led to his father disciplining him, a memory Wight shared with a touch of humor, while also expressing deep respect for his father.
