Marcos Maidana, a boxer who fought Floyd Mayweather on two separate occasions, claims to have a necklace with his tooth in it.

The Argentine took on Mayweather and was second best in both bouts, losing each meeting on points back in 2014.

To his credit, Maidana looked impressive in the squared circle, particularly in the second fight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, when he fought for the welterweight titles.

The former world champion landed a devastating right hook just three rounds into the contest and caught Mayweather flush on the jaw.

In fact, slow-motion footage of the punch appeared to show his tooth flying out as a result of the impact.

Years later, Maidana claimed he still has that same tooth as a memento. Bizarrely, he's now wearing the tooth in a pendant and took to Instagram to show his followers.

Tagging Mayweather, he wrote: "How much will Perez mouse give me?"

Mayweather has strongly denied that he did not lose a tooth as a result of the shot. Speaking post-fight, he said: "In the third round, when he hit me with that shot after the bell, it was a real good shot. It got my attention."

He added: "It was nothing I never felt before, but it was a really good shot which got my attention.

"No, he didn't knock my teeth out. Not at all! He's a strong guy, he's a good puncher, but no, as far as my teeth missing, absolutely not."

After a controversial first fight, Maidana get his rematch following a majority decision. The second, however, was a comfortable unanimous points victory for 'Money'.

Since his fifth and final career loss against Mayweather in his 40th fight, Maidana has not stepped in the ring agai.

He announced his retirement from the sport in 2016. "After a long time out of the ring and after giving it a lot of thought since my last fight I've decided to hang up the gloves for good," he said.

"Probably my decision would not surprise much as I had given hints of it in the last few months. But at this time I am making it official."
