A few weeks removed from his 47th victory as a professional, Floyd Mayweather has been enjoying some much deserved down time by jet setting the globe over, including recent stops in Turkey, Paris, and London, England.

Mayweather won a 12-round unanimous decision over Marcos Maidana in their rematch inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sep. 13 and he is slated to return in May.

And while Floyd continues to enjoy himself abroad, back in his home base of Vegas, people have begun to speculate his ring return.

Since relocating to Las Vegas in late 2009, I have come across some true characters from all walks of life.

The city is a special one because it is structured so differently from others. People from all over the globe relocate here in an effort to change their lives and chase their dreams.

Through my connection to the sport of boxing, I  ran across Abdul Musawwir Muhammad last year and I’ve found him to be a soul you can’t soon forget.

A native of Philadelphia, I like to call Musawwir the ‘Jack of all trades’ because of his many talents, from cutting hair, cooking up a nice meal, and even going to town on the mitts.

As a barber, several fighters from the renown gym have sought out Musawwir’s services, including Mayweather Promotions’ star fighters J’Leon Love, Luis ‘Cuba’ Arias, LaDarius ‘Memphis’ Miller, as well as the one and only Will ‘Simply Amazin’ Clemons.

Keep it locked to HustleBoss.com for more of Musawwir’s story and his views on life and please check out a recent video where he shares his thoughts on boxing, life, the city of Las Vegas, the Mayweather fighting family, and more.
