Since May 2017 until April 2018, Diego Armando Maradona worked for Al-Fujairah SC Emirati side as the main head coach. During that time, the Argentine had an unexpected fight with Floyd Mayweather that almost nobody may remember. It was a word exchange that took place on Instagram.

Maradona was going to give a gift to the follower who had the best tattoo about him, and Mayweather assured that in the world he was the person whose image was more tattooed. The Argentinian, winner of a World Cup title on Mexico 1986, answered him and assured that he was the person from whom more tattoos were made in the world.

After saying that, Diego invited Mayweather for a fight, in a clear message full of humor. The idol clarified that he wanted a round of penalties and not a fight in the ring, against the American boxer. That was the time in which Maradona and Mayweather confronted for the title of being the most tattooed person in others bodies.

Maradona finally continued with his managerial career until November 2020, when he died. That date will always be remembered, as the entire world talked about the death of one of the greatest soccer players ever. Persons from all the world paid tribute to him and remembered him.
