Script:
The Floyd Mayweather show continues its South African excursion.
The world champion boxer visiting a boxing gym in the township of Soweto, near Johannesburg.
He may be handy with his fists, but still flanked by some rather beefy looking security guards.
The day-to-day training grinding to a halt as one of the world's most recognisable boxer steps into the ring.
Rousing the crowd of boxing hopefuls:
"To all the young fighters that are up and coming: stay focused, be hungry, dedicate yourself and anything is possible. All work is easy work if you push yourself to the limit. In boxing it takes three things: it takes a sharp mind, a tremendous heart and a great chin. I think in May we should be fighting a South African. What do you all think?"
Mayweather dismissed any talk of fighting Manny Pacquiao when he arrives in South Africa on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old said the Filipino only wanted a fight to solve his current tax problems.
