Jamie Foxx's movie secret? He once knocked out Floyd Mayweather in unreleased movie

Jamie Foxx recently revealed a surprising story about boxing legend Floyd Mayweather during a promotional interview for his upcoming Netflix movie Back In Action.

Foxx shared that he once had the rare opportunity to knock Mayweather out, but only on-screen, in a film that may never see the light of day.

Jamie Foxx punched Mayweather in unreleased movie

While discussing career highlights alongside co-star Cameron Diaz, Foxx was asked about the most famous person he'd ever punched for a film.

Without hesitation, he named Floyd Mayweather, leaving Diaz and the audience stunned.

Foxx explained, "Yeah, I got a chance to knock out Floyd Mayweather. In my movie that'll probably never come out. It was called All-Star Weekend."

Foxx described the experience with humor, recounting how nervous he was to land the punch.

Mayweather, known for his unbeaten record in professional boxing, lightened the mood.

"I'm doing this thing, and I have to literally clock him," Foxx recalled.

"It's the only time you'll ever see Floyd Mayweather get hit."

He said, 'Yeah, J Foxx, it's okay. J Foxx, it's not real. If it was real, come on.'"

The lighthearted exchange highlighted the friendship between the two, which has been evident in their public appearances together.

From Foxx impersonating Mayweather to celebrating the boxer's 46th birthday in London, their camaraderie is undeniable.

Mayweather could be in legal trouble

However, the buzz surrounding Mayweather's rare on-screen knockout coincides with troubling news about his business ventures.

Employees at Mayweather's Los Angeles-based gym have accused him of unpaid wages, staging protests outside the facility.

Some workers carried signs reading "modern-day slavery" and "The $ Team Has No Money $."

The gym's financial woes reportedly extend to unpaid rent, which could lead to its closure.

A similar situation caused another California gym location to shut down.

Despite his estimated $400 million net worth, Mayweather risks facing legal action and significant payouts if the disputes remain unresolved.

Fans of both Foxx and Mayweather are now left wondering whether All-Star Weekend will ever be released.

Seeing Mayweather, who has never been knocked out in his illustrious career, take a fictional punch from Foxx would undoubtedly be a moment to remember.
