Serafim Todorov beat  Mayweather in the featherweight division semi-finals at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

There might be another boxer who has defeated Mayweather- but professionally, Serafim Todorov was the last to do so.

But a 45-year, the Bulgarian is living the opposite of Mayweather's life as he now lives on a monthly grant from the Bulgarian government.

in an interview with the UK Sun, Todorov who lives in an apartment in the remote town of Pazardzhik in southern Bulgaria and shares a Volkswagen Polo with his wife said; "I live on just a hand out from the state, the money I get from the government is not enough, my family have no jobs.

"It's hard here because it is a small town and there is very little work.

"I get about 500 Euros a month but I have to pay back the bank or loans, I own the apartment I live in but there are still bills to pay.

"I did have a bigger house in my home tow Peshtera, 20km from where I live now but I had to sell because I had no money to get by."

Todorov was beaten at the Olympic  final  by Thai boxer Somluck Kamsing.
