Kevin ‘Two Guns’ Lerena has some of boxing’s big guns in his corner.

The WBC Interim Bridgerweight champion is preparing for his next battle and has turned to one of those big guns for advice.

The South African took to social media to share that he recently had a video call with boxing great Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.

With a perfect record of 50 wins and no losses, the American is considered to be one of the greatest of all time and serves as an inspiration to many a boxer.

Lerena hopes to learn a lot from Money Mayweather, adding that when the greats talk, he always listens and pays attention.

Lerena also hangs out with Tyson Fury

Mayweather isn’t the only boxing champion that Lerena has in his corner.

The South African recently helped The Gypsy King prepare for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk by becoming his southpaw sparring partner, Golden Gloves reported.

Unfortunately, that bout has been postponed after Fury suffered a cut during training.

What’s next for Lerena?

While he waits for a title unification bout for the WBC Bridgerweight title, Two Guns will move up to heavyweight to keep himself busy.

As noted by SuperSport.com, Lerena will take on Australia’s Justus Huni on March 8. The fight will take place in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on the undercard for Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou’s heavyweight clash.
