I'm the last American to beat Floyd Mayweather but I was brutally KO'd by Prince Naseem Hamed and retired at 24
Find out what he is up to now THAT NAS TO HURT I'm the last American to beat Floyd Mayweather but I was brutally KO'd by Prince Naseem Hamed and retired at 24 AUGIE SANCHEZ is part of one of the most exclusive clubs in boxing history - as one of only six men to have beaten Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather retired as a professional in 2017 after making history by going 50-0 - a record still yet to be matched. 5 Diego Corrales, Arnulfo Bravo, Floyd Mayweather and Augie Sanchez Credit: Facebook 5 Sanchez lost to Prince Naseem Hamed in 2001 Credit: Reuters 5 He retired shortly after Credit: AFP But as an amateur, he had 84 wins and just six defeats. The most notable loss came in the 1996 Olympics when Bulgaria's Serafim Todorov was awarded a controversial decision in the semi-finals. Mayweather blamed the defeat on corruption and turned pro the same year - while Todorov ended up working in a sausage factory. But the last American to beat Mayweather was Sanchez - who won a decision in the 1996 Olympic trials.

Yeah, it was a very entertaining fight. "Me and Floyd go back, to 1994, when we both made the team and were both Golden Gloves champions; at the time, he was boxing at 106 pounds. "And later on that year, we were in Colorado Springs at the Olympic training centre, getting ready for the Olympic festival. "So we were roommates and we became close and had a good friendship.

"And that's when I ended up meeting him in the Nationals, the first year. How Olympics defeat sparked Floyd Mayweather's unbeaten pro legacy while rival's career went wildly different direction "A lot of people don't know about the first time we fought, when we fought in the Nationals, in the semi-finals. "And we fought again at the Olympic trials in the finals, and that's when I ended up beating him. "It was a great fight, and I managed to land some great power shots on him. I beat him by countering and timing his punches.' Mayweather would later twice beat Sanchez to earn himself a spot at the 1996 Games - where he settled for bronze. But as a pro, he won world titles in FIVE divisions and boasted of earning over £1BILLION in the ring. Sanchez meanwhile turned pro in 1996 - the same year as Mayweather - and fought for the world title four years later. But he was brutally knocked out in four by British legend Prince Naseem Hamed - the WBO featherweight champion at the time. Sanchez had only three fights afterwards, retiring in 2001 after losing to John Michael Johnson at just 24. He later became a trainer and joined Team USA as an Olympic coach in 2016. Sanchez has also worked with the likes of heavyweight Michael Hunter and super-bantamweight champ Subaru Murata. Ironically, Sanchez is also part of Curmel Moton's camp - the 19-year-old top prospect mentored by Mayweather. Mayweather himself still fights in the occasional exhibition bout against stars of the boxing, MMA and celebrity world. 5 Curmel Moton with mentor Mayweather

The Gunners are seeking to bolster their attack following three consecutive runner-up finishes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ademola Lookman has impressed since moving to Italy Credit: Getty Lookman, 27, has had previous Premier League spells with Everton, Fulham and Leicester - with mixed fortunes. Since moving to Atalanta in 2022, the winger has gone from strength to strength - winning the Europa League and finishing 14th in the Ballon d'Or last year. Wright, 61, believes that Lookman would be well placed to improve Mikel Arteta's front line. On his Wrighty's House podcast, the former forward said: "I'm going to go with Ademola Lookman winning the African Player of the Year in respects of that man's journey.

"You know, it's just… I can't help but look at his dark moment where it would have been dark for him. You know, especially all those loans going to another country. "And you know what? He never had no problem going wherever he needed to go to find it. "And then obviously, like you say, you find your place. Like Scott McTominay's found that, like he [Lookman] found with Atalanta.

"I would love someone like him to come back to the Premier League and say, 'listen, I have unfinished business here so I am going to help Arsenal win the league'. Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini slams Ademola Lookman for his penalty skills "But I just admire his journey and now he's recognised rightly as a top player, unbelievable." SunSport recently revealed that Lookman has admirers at Arsenal. Some Gunners chiefs, however, are concerned about his age - believing that at 27 Lookman may have already peaked. In addition to Arsenal, Liverpool are keeping tabs on the £50m-rated former Evertonian.
