Gyan opined that Mayweather is a great inspiration to him.

‘’Floyd Mayweather is my role model and it is because of him I named my son Floyd Gyan. Because Floyd Mayweather speaks the truth and when he does, people don’t understand him and publicly condemn him sometimes. But these are hypocrites because in their quite time when they reflect about what he has said very well, then they agree that he has done the right thing.”
