He was once the double heavyweight champion, with a career that allowed him to retire from the ring with a rumoured fortune of $15million.
Now Riddick Bowe, of Maryland, has found himself tweeting happy birthday messages and adverts for insurance firms for anyone who pays him $20.
The 46-year-old recently offered to 'tweet anything' for people who credit him through PayPal, sharing the messages with his 450,000 followers.
His offer seems a far cry from the fame he enjoyed in the 1990s as the only man who could beat Evander Holyfield.
Bowe explained his plan to this thousands of followers in a post.
He said: 'I will tweet anything to anyone just paypal me $20 bowe@riddickbowe.com. Thats whats up. Bowe
And as apparent proof of his pledge a number of bizarre messages have since appeared on the former boxing champion's Twitter account.
One post read: 'I tell you all now @JakeLeeYes is twice the fighter I ever was. Thats whats up. Bowe'
