Floyd Mayweather Reportedly Tried to Shoot His Shot With 19-Year-Old Summyah Marie And Got Rejected

Boxing great Floyd “Money” Mayweather can have a perfect record in the boxing ring, but a viral clip shows he just suffered a rare “L” beyond it. The five-time world champion supposedly had someone from his camp ask budding streamer Summyah Marie (who streams under her nickname Maya) for her number, but the latter smiled and said no due to her already having a boyfriend.

The Knockout Was Courtesy Of Maya, Not Mayweather

During a livestream, a person spotted Mayweather nearby and just started buzzing in the chat. “That’s Floyd Mayweather!” someone shouted, bringing disbelief and excitement. Maya, clearly stunned, at first laughed at the exchange. “I thought they were lying. They said, is that Floyd Mayweather?”

People were egging her on to push him into the stream, but Maya confessed that she was shy: “I’m so shy… like, it’s Floyd Mayweather. I think he’d be doing that kind of stuff though.”

“Sorry, Champ, I Have A Boyfriend”

It was related by Maya that a guy in the camp of Mayweather had approached her for her number on his behalf. Rather than getting caught up in sentiment, she stood her ground. “Oh, um. I have a boyfriend, so… no, it’s alright, I’m not interested,” she replied politely.

She was asked to spell her name, she replied this way: “My name is Maya, but I have a boyfriend.” Reports stated that the name was repeated back to her by Mayweather, “Maya,” before a concluding thank you.

From Livestream to Highlight Reel

Though Maya joked during the live-stream, “I hope that gets clipped,” the internet is never a beat behind. Fans are already uploading the clip and thanking her for denying one of the world’s most famous athletes. Some called it a “power move,” others quipped that this was the first rejection ever recorded by Mayweather.

The Real Undefeated Champion Could Be Her Boyfriend

The exchange is a universal truth about culture: even mega-stars such as Floyd Mayweather aren’t always getting their way. And for Maya, the encounter can become a signature viral moment that anchors her brand as relatable as well as steadfast.

One thing is for sure: if Floyd Mayweather can’t win the heart of Maya, her boyfriend just may be the ultimate undefeated champion.

Serena Williams Stuns In Teal Dress But That Asymmetrical Detail Is Everything

By
Serena Williams

Celebs pretty much always bring the style heat, right? Whether it’s the classic monochrome vibes from royals like Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle or those bold cut-out moments from Heidi Klum and Jenna Dewan, there’s always something to obsess over.

And Serena Williams? She’s definitely on that list. From rocking the perfect slip dress all summer to those effortlessly cozy two-piece sets, she knows how to show up and show out. Her latest look? Just as flawless.

Serena, 44, recently hit up Zeta Live ’25 on October 9 in New York City and she showed up in a look that was equal parts chic and fitting for the event. She wore a cap-sleeve teal green dress that hit right at mid-knee, paired with matching pumps. But the coolest part? The dress featured an asymmetrical neckline that instantly elevated the whole outfit.

That little twist gave an edge to an otherwise sleek and professional look, simple but totally stylish. She kept her blonde hair down with soft curls and accessorized with stud earrings and a watch for just the right touch.

Back in July, Zeta Global announced Serena as a keynote speaker for the conference.

“Williams joins the Zeta Live mainstage as a powerful voice on reinvention, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence. From dominating the world stage in sports to redefining success in business, Williams embodies the mindset at the heart of this year’s theme,” the release said.

And let’s be real, Serena’s no stranger to turning heads. The tennis icon recently stunned in a bubblegum pink dress with playful cutouts. That dress had a halter neckline, flowy fabric that draped off her arms and a cheeky peek-a-boo cutout up front and it was totally backless.

She completed the look with voluminous, tight curls swept into a deep side part, a soft glam beat with plum lipstick and the perfect pop of blush.

“Call me EXTRA because I stay poppin’ — bubble gum that is,” she cheekily captioned the post.

Coco Gauff was ‘obsessed’ with one item of clothing – until her Mom told her to change

Coco Gauff has opened up on her fashion choices and revealed her mother needed to step in when she became a little too obsessed with hoodies.

The French Open champion stormed to a comfortable 6-1, 6-0 win over Uchijima Moyuka in her first match at the Wuhan Open on Wednesday, as she coped well in sweltering hot conditions that have proved to be too much some other players in the draw.

Responding to a question from Tennis365 in Wuhan, Gauff opened up on her passion for fashion, as she revealed her tastes have evolved over the years with the input of her mother.

“I used to be a hoodie connoisseur. I owned, like, 70-something hoodies,” she said.

“My mom had told me I had to stop buying hoodies and then, I don’t know. I think when I turned, like maybe 17 or 18, I just stopped.

 

“Honestly, now I don’t really grab a hoodie unless I go to the airport. But yeah, I think that was just kind of like I didn’t know what my fashion was going to be. So I feel like I was just conserving myself.

“I’m a lot more expressive of what I wear on and off the court and yeah, it’s really fun. I like wearing clothes. I’m not very talented in a lot of things, so I think clothes are just a way to express myself.”

When asked what her favourite clothing is now, Gauff suggested she is widening her options.

“It just depends on the mood. Some days I wake up feeling really feminine and feel like wearing skirts and stuff, and other days I wake up feeling like a tomboy,” she said.

“It just kind of depends on what my mood is, which is why it’s like always hard for me to plan outfits in advance because I never know what I’m going to feel like in the moment.”

Gauff has a role in the design of the clothing she wears on court with her sponsors New Balance and enjoys the input she has into that process.

“New Balance and I work really close together with them,” she said. “I don’t design every kit, not everything, but a lot of the things we do are inspirations of things that I pull from fashion, like magazines or stuff off court and things like that.

“One of the things that I was really like part of was the one I wore at Wimbledon. I really wanted to wear lace on the court, and it was so beautiful. I wish I could have played longer in it.

“Next year I want to try a corset situation with a little less lace, so we’ll see. But I’m definitely involved in the process, but I don’t do everything, though.”

Gauff is a huge attraction during the Asian swing of the WTA Tour, with big cheers everywhere she goes in Wuhan this week.

Serena Williams thrilled by Taylor Swift’s new album gift, “The Life o

By
Serena Williams Taylor Swift

Serena Williams continues to attract attention, even though she is no longer active on the tennis courts.

The 44-year-old tennis legend is known for her many activities outside of sports, and she is also known to be a big fan of Taylor Swift, who is currently one of the most popular singers in the world.

Serena Williams was especially thrilled to receive Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Serena and Taylor have been friends for many years, and the popular singer is growing more and more every year. It seems that her popularity has truly reached a peak that some can only dream of.

The album contains 12 songs that are truly unique, and according to public reactions, the album is a real hit.

Serena admitted via social media that she is a big fan of Swift and that she literally screamed when she saw the album. She expressed her gratitude, emphasizing that she enjoys the new songs and is looking forward to this friendship.

“It is no secret that I am a Swiftie, and it is no secret that I literally screamed when I walked into the house and saw this. Thank you, Taylor. And Olympia is literally gonna lose her mind. So, excited. Obviously, we love Cancelled, so. Yay! I’m gonna have to record her reaction. She’s gonna go crazy. @taylorswift”- Williams wrote.

The album and its specificity

Taylor Swift is also delighted with fans’ reactions to her album, saying that she had been preparing this project for a long time and that she wanted to offer the audience something completely different from anything she has done before.

As we have already mentioned, this album is specific in many ways, and it seems that the greatest emphasis is placed on her experiences during the European tour, as well as on her relationship with the American football player Travis Kelce.

The album was released four days ago and represents a significant evolution from her previous album.

The inspiration for the new album was her travels, musical experiences and personal life experiences.

The album was produced by Max Martin in collaboration with Shellback and Taylor Swift herself. On the first day of sales across four countries, 2.7 million copies of the album were sold.

How Gauff went from a ‘hoodie connoisseur’ to a fashion

How Gauff went from a ‘hoodie connoisseur’ to a fashion-forward trendsetter

Over the course of her career, as Coco Gauff’s game has evolved, so too has her fashion sense.

She’s now regarded as one of the most fashion-forward players on the Hologic WTA Tour, a true trendsetter. It’s quite a long way from when she first turned pro back in 2018, when she lived and died by the hoodie.

“I used to be a hoodie connoisseur,” the World No. 3 said ahead of her opening-round match at this week’s Wuhan Open. “I owned, like, 70-something hoodies and having all those … it was really bad. My mom had told me I had to stop buying hoodies. And then, when I turned maybe 17 or 18, I just stopped. And now I don’t really grab a hoodie unless I go to the airport. But yeah, I didn’t know what my fashion was going to be, so I feel like I was just conserving myself.

“Now I’m a lot more expressive of what I wear on and off the court. It’s really fun. I like wearing clothes. I’m not very talented in a lot of things, so I think clothes is just a way to express myself.”

We’d argue Gauff’s lack of talent argument, as she’s won two Grand Slam titles and is firmly entrenched in the Top 5 ahead of the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh, where she’s already qualified and is the defending champion.

As for her fashion on court, it’s been on point (and very intentional). The American has worn a different outfit at every tournament she’s played in this year, each of which has received rave reviews.

As for her wardrobe off the court, she doesn’t plan much in advance. Gauff takes an organic, in-the-moment approach: How she feels when she gets out of bed dictates her choice for the day.

“It just depends on the mood,” the 21-year-old said. “Some days I wake up feeling really feminine and [I want to wear] skirts and stuff. Other days I wake up feeling like a tomboy. It just kind of depends on what my mood is, which is why it’s always hard for me to plan outfits in advance. I never know what I’m going to feel like in the moment.”

The French Open champion arrives in Wuhan coming off a semifinal showing in Beijing, where she lost in straight sets to eventual champion Amanda Anisimova.

She received a bye in the first round of Wuhan, the final WTA 1000 tournament of 2025, and will play unseeded Moyuka Uchijima in the second round.

Serena Williams calls out Simone Biles over Vegas post

By
Serena Williams Simone Biles

Tennis legend Serena Williams stirred the social media pot with a cheeky comment beneath Simone Biles’ recent Instagram carousel from Las Vegas.

In the post, Biles showed off moments from a Vegas trip – posing in a polka-dot bikini, tank tops, and casual looks during downtime.

When the carousel dropped, one face was missing: Serena’s. In response, Williams left a playful comment: “What’s the meaning of this????!!!! lol where am I??” The jab came with enough humor to feel more like a friendly tease than a feud, but fans immediately dug into whether there was more behind the banter.

As spectators dissect celebrity posts, this jab adds another layer to how athletes engage when stepping outside their sport. Biles, who was in Vegas supporting her husband Jonathan Owens’ NFL outing, captioned “Vegas owes us nothing.”

The mix of glamour, getaway vibes, and friend-circle outings made the IG carousel an appealing visual story. Serena’s comment simply punctuated it with a little public curiosity – and perhaps FOMO.

Williams and Biles have a long history of mutual respect and occasional playful teasing. Over years, they’ve shared stages, exchanged praise, and navigated the pressures of being elite athletes in the public eye.

Serena’s jab here may be less dig, more affectionate prompting-an expression of “Hey, include me in the fun next time.”

When friendship meets social media jab

This moment is an example of how public figures use banter to stay human. Their legacies aren’t just accomplishments – they’re supported by their personalities and relationships. Serena’s comment reminds us that even icons feel the desire to be in the frame.

For Biles, the Miami-Las Vegas getaway wasn’t about offense – it was an escape. For Serena, the comment was a gentle nudge: a reminder that sometimes absence is more noticeable than presence. And in the world of celebrity friendship, sometimes the smallest prompt makes the biggest ripple.

‘Call me EXTRA because’: Serena Williams Stuns in Backless Bubb

By
Serena Williams

Take one scroll through Serena Williams’s Instagram and you’ll see it all.

Everything from podcast clips with sister Venus, to behind-the-scenes peeks from her NikeSKIMS shoot, glam shots from Paris Fashion Week and sweet family moments with husband Alexis Ohanian and daughters Olympia and Adira. And while the content varies, one thing stays consistent—her style is on point.

Take one of her recent Instagram posts for example. In a video Serena, 44, posted on October 3, she’s wearing a bubblegum pink dress that’s serving Barbie dreams. It features a halter neckline with flowing fabric that drapes off her arms and a peek-a-boo cutout adds a flirty detail at the front. But the real showstopper? It’s totally backless.

She completed the look with voluminous, tight curls swept into a deep side part, a soft glam beat with plum lipstick and the perfect pop of blush.

“Call me EXTRA because I stay poppin’ — bubble gum that is,” she cheekily captioned the post.

Of course, this isn’t Serena’s first time slaying in pink.

Earlier this year, she lit up a pink carpet wearing a bold Off-White gown from the late Virgil Abloh’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection. The floor-length dress featured long sleeves, a high neckline,and a sleek side cutout. She paired it with hot pink mules and accessorized with a silver watch, stacked rings and sleek straight hair for that polished finish.

“As much as I love blue – did you know pink is my favorite color?!” she captioned the carousel post.

In short: Serena + pink = a perfect match. And she’s clearly not done proving it.

Serena Williams gets honest about insecurities early on in her career

By
Serena Williams

Serena Williams faces insecurities just like the rest of us.

In a conversation with her sister, Venus Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, shared that she wasn’t confident in her playing ability.

“I sucked. I was bad. I didn’t have it,” Serena told Venus on their podcast Stockton Street. “I only hit lobs. Remember, I only hit lobs. I was terrible. I mean, even when I first turned pro, I was really bad. Not that I didn’t, but I just thought I wasn’t that good. I thought I could outlast people because I was small at the time. I thought I could outlast them and just be out there. And yeah, I never really thought about it.”

Their father, Richard Williams, who was their coach growing up, told the sisters to pick a major tournament they could win, and that would be their goal. Venus chose Wimbledon, and Serena also wanted that one as well, but ended up choosing the US Open.

“Then, when dad told us to pick a tournament to win so we could focus on the goal, you picked Wimbledon too. And then he said I needed to pick something different. So I picked the US Open, but I didn’t really think I would make it,” Serena admitted.

Despite not wanting to originally focus on the US Open as a goal instructed by her father, Serena went on to win the 1999 US Open for her first Grand Slam win. As for Venus, she ended up winning her first Wimbledon match in 2000 when she defeated Lindsay Davenport.

Their first wins were just the beginning of their monumental careers. Serena would go on to win 22 more Grand Slam titles, and Venus would win Wimbledon again the following year in 2001, as well as three more championships in 2005, 2007, and 2008. Serena also had success at Wimbledon, winning seven championships in her career (2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2016).  Venus also found success at the US Open, winning back-to-back in 2000 and 2001.

When did Serena Williams and Venus Williams start their podcast?

The tennis pros announced their podcast last month, which is named after the street they grew up on. The sisters shared their reasoning behind starting the podcast is to share more with one another.

“As close as we are, we had to keep so many things distant because of our jobs,” Serena told the publication. “As much as she’s my sister, she’s also my opponent, and you can’t be as open as you want to be. So this a real opportunity to do something that we’ve been trying to do, and also just a discovery thing as well.”

Serena WIlliams shows off slender figure at Milan Fashion Week and set the internet ablaze in this tight dress

Serena Williams made a powerful style statement at Milan Fashion Week, turning heads in a form-fitting black dress that highlighted her slim figure. The retired tennis champion attended Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2026 show and short film premiere, joining a guest list that included Gwyneth Paltrow, Lila Moss, Alia Bhatt, and BTS’ Jin.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner stepped out in a semi-sheer black gown designed with feather trim at the neckline, sleeves, and hem. The look balanced elegance with bold detailing, allowing Williams to stand out even among fashion icons.

She later shared photos from the evening on Instagram, writing, “Only playing the cards I was dealt. @gucci,” giving followers an inside look at her Fashion Week experience. The post shows how adding texture to an otherwise simple silhouette can completely change the vibe of an outfit.

To recreate her look, try a sleek black maxi dress paired with feather-trimmed accessories for a touch of drama.

A fashion week highlight

Williams’ appearance was one of the most talked-about moments from the event. Despite a crowd filled with stars, she captured the spotlight with her sophisticated gown and confident presence. Fans praised her look on social media, calling her “stunning” and “elegant.”

Fellow athletes like Simone Biles and Caroline Wozniacki also chimed in with supportive comments. If you want to echo Serena’s style without going full couture, a floor-length gown with sheer sleeves or subtle paneling can give you the same refined look for a formal night out.

Her Fashion Week moment also reflects her expanding role in fashion. As the founder of Wyn Beauty and a frequent collaborator with global brands, Williams has carved out a presence that goes well beyond her tennis career.

Her transformation journey

The striking gown also highlighted Williams’ recent weight loss, which she has spoken about openly. She revealed losing over 30 pounds with the help of GLP-1 medication, a treatment developed to help manage blood sugar levels.

Williams admitted that after becoming a mother, she struggled to reach her desired weight despite training and healthy eating. “I never was able to get to the weight I needed to be, no matter how much I trained,” she shared.

Her look in Milan shows how the right silhouette can celebrate a new chapter, and a structured, fitted dress is an easy way to capture that same confidence.

Beyond the tennis court

Her look at Gucci underscores how she continues to evolve publicly. Instead of stepping away from the spotlight, she has built influence in beauty, fashion, and business.

For a more wearable approach to her runway-ready style, you could try a black slip dress and layer it with a standout coat or wrap for everyday elegance.

Final thoughts

Serena Williams’ Milan Fashion Week appearance was more than a red carpet moment. It highlighted her personal transformation, her evolving style, and her continued impact beyond sports. Whether on the tennis court or the runway, Williams proves she knows how to command attention.

Serena Williams’ husband defends her with rare statement following backlash

Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, has spoken out in her defence following the backlash she faced last week. The tennis star went viral on social media after she shared a post on Instagram where she called out a New York City hotel for using “cotton as decoration”. “How do we feel about cotton as decoration? Personally, for me, it doesn’t feel great,” she wrote alongside a picture of herself with the cotton plant. “Feels like nail polish remover cotton,” she added. Many fans took to social media to share that Serena owned a cotton decoration herself.

The sculpture, titled Monument for a Promise, is owned by Serena and her husband. Created by the late artist Radcliffe Bailey, it depicts a donkey carrying a trunk atop a pile of cotton. Alexis first shared a photo of the sculpture in 2020, while Serena later revealed in a 2021 interview with Architectural Digest that the front room where it’s displayed is her “favorite part” of the house.

Following the controversy online, Alexis took to X to respond to the comments made towards his wife. “Folks entitled to have their opinions, but to use owning Radcliffe Bailey’s Monument for a Promise as some kind of a ‘gotchya’ is so breathtakingly stupid – there is some very obvious symbolism of the cotton in the artwork,” he penned.

He followed up by posting a screenshot of an AI-generated analysis of Radcliffe Bailey’s work, noting that the cotton represents both the history of slavery and the promise of a “brighter tomorrow”.

Alexis took his support a step further by surprising his wife with an enormous floral arrangement featuring dozens of red roses in a sleek white vase. In a clip shared to her Instagram Stories on Monday, Serena showed off the romantic gesture, posting a video of the stunning bouquet along with two red heart emojis and her husband’s Instagram handle.

The 44-year-old and her husband Alexis tied the knot in 2017 and welcomed their first daughter, Alexia Olympis Ohanian Jr., in September that year. Five years later, the couple were surprised with a second bundle of joy as Serena gave birth to their youngest child, Adira River Ohanian, in August 2023.

Bouqet of red roses

Despite her successful career, Serena revealed in an interview with Byrdie in April 2024 that what brings her the most happiness is her kids. “I can’t say that a Wimbledon trophy holds a candle to volunteering at my kid’s school. “I also hope my daughters see how many different passions I have – from tennis to beauty – and learn that they can lead dynamic careers and lives across their many interests,” she said.
