Jake Paul’s friend and former Tommy Fury opponent, Anthony Taylor, in street fight with professional boxer ahead of bout on Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Deji undercard

Anthony Taylor has been grabbing the headlines all fight week leading up to Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Deji, and he's still at it.

Taylor is a friend of social media star Jake Paul and he has previously fought and lost against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

On Sunday night he fights on the undercard of Mayweather Jr vs Deji against former Love Island winner, Jack Fincham.

And on the eve of his fight, of Taylor being confronted by professional boxer, Rhys Caldon (1-0), as he was repeatedly asked: "Are we gonna get it cracking or what?"

Taylor questioned who Caldon was, before attempting to walk away from the situation.

This was until Caldon decided to spray water over the American, which caused Taylor to turn around and angrily square up, as the pair began wrestling on the street before it was broken up by security.

Taylor was visibly agitated in the aftermath, as he continually attempted to get to Caldon who was shouting from a distance: "You're light work."

Later on Saturday, Taylor took to Twitter to send a warning to anyone who might try and confront him in person in the future.

He wrote: "Here’s a reminder to everybody who tries to actually test me in person!!!

"Do not f*** with me or take my kindness for weakness. I’ll switch that switch ASAP!! He’s lucky I didn’t ground and pound him!!!!"

This comes after Taylor had been causing some trouble himself earlier in the week, which began with him winding up John Fury at the press conference in London, as 'Big John' attempted to fight the American and threatened to knock him out.

Footage also emerged of Taylor attempting to wrestle his upcoming opponent, Fincham, in the street before it was once again broken up by security.

As if this weren't enough chaos for one week, Taylor has called out Mayweather Jr himself on a number of occasions - to the point that the self-proclaimed 'TBE' [The Best Ever] invited him in the ring to spar at the media workouts.

Taylor declined, however, citing the fact that he was not willing to get beaten up for free.
