Floyd Mayweather Jr. is now a boxing legend, famously the owner of 50 wins in all 50 of his professional fights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lesser known, however, is that the longtime fighter grew up in a family full of boxers. Long before the Grand Rapids, Michigan, native became one of the most recognizable figures in sports, he had the guidance of three professional boxers in his family already.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, as Mayweather approaches 50, he has four of his own children, as well. While Mayweather’s journey began as a high school dropout who pursued the same profession, boxing, as his father and three uncles, his kids have taken up their own endeavors in recent years.<\/p>\n

Yaya’s mother is Mayweather’s former girlfriend, Melissa Brim, while his other three children are with another former girlfriend, Josie Harris. The mother of Mayweather’s adopted son, Devion, is also Brim.<\/p>\n “Yaya” Mayweather was born in May 2000. Throughout her childhood, her father was known to spend a lot on her with his boxing money, including buying a Rolls-Royce in 2015 so “his 14-year-old daughter can ride in style,” TMZ reported.<\/a>\u00a0Two years later, TMZ also reported<\/a> that Floyd Mayweather Jr. managed to get Drake and Future to perform for “Yaya’s” Sweet 16 birthday party in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n In 2018, “Yaya” Mayweather released her first single as a rapper, “Oh Okay,” under the name “Money Yaya,” a remix of a Gunna song. However, she hasn’t released any music since.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Relationship with NBA Youngboy<\/p>\n “Yaya” Mayweather began dating rapper NBA Youngboy in 2019.

During the incident, Mayweather attacked and cut Jacobs with a knife. Jacobs suffered two lacerations on her arm and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n Mayweather was arrested for felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and in 2022, she pleaded guilty in court over the incident. She was sentenced to six years probation, and after that, \u201cshe will have no felony conviction and the case will be dismissed,” her lawyer Kent Schaffer told\u00a0People.com.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAlthough we believe that Iyanna was defending herself after being attacked, we thought this was the safest resolution for her,\u201d Schaffer told People.com. \u201cThis is especially true since her boyfriend and his bodyguards refused to testify, probably due to their own legal problems.\u201d<\/p>\n Floyd Mayweather Jr. sons<\/p>\n Mayweather has three kids with his ex-girlfriend, Harris, two of which are sons.<\/p>\n Koraun Mayweather<\/p>\n Mayweather’s oldest child is Koraun, who was born in November 1999.<\/p>\n Koraun Mayweather said in 2017 that he wasn’t really into boxing growing up, sometimes attending fights but mostly finding other ways to spend time with his father.<\/p>\n “We just hang out. We either watch a movie or something or go bowling,” Koraun Mayweather told USA Today<\/a>. “I find (boxing) boring. It is just like how people sit in the ring and fight for 12 rounds, and it gets boring after a while. Sometimes they run.”<\/p>\n Koraun also has pursued a music career. In 2018, he released a single called “RACK$” under the name “King Koraun.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Mayweather has also released an album titled “A King’s Party” in 2020 and another single titled “Never Broke Again” in 2023.<\/p>\n Koraun Mayweather has over 320,000 followers\u00a0on Instagram<\/a>.

Just like Iyanna, the longtime boxer threw Zion a massive 16th birthday party in Las Vegas, that time getting rapper Young Thug to perform, per TMZ.<\/a><\/p>\n Zion and Mayweather’s other children attended public school growing up. The undefeated boxer said in 2022<\/a> that he thought public school is “more like the real world,” while private schools are more like “boot camp.”<\/p>\n For the past few years, Zion Mayweather has focused on the clothing line he started, “Philthy Rich Boys.”<\/p>\n Devion Cromwell<\/p>\n Mayweather chose to become the legal guardian to Birm’s child from a previous relationship,\u00a0Devion Cromwell, who was born in June 1996.<\/p>\n Not much is known about Cromwell, but he describes himself as an entrepreneur on his Instagram, where he has over 20,000 followers.<\/a><\/p>\n Floyd Mayweather Jr. daughter: Jirah Mayweather<\/p>\n Mayweather’s youngest child is Jirah Mayweather, who was born to him and Harris in June 2003. Jirah was known to compete in cheerleading growing up, with her father sharing her journey in 2020 on social media.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m so proud of you! God has truly blessed me with a beautiful angel! Keep working hard and always know you can accomplish anything you put your mind to,” Mayweather wrote. “You will always be a winner in my eyes and if God forbid you ever fall, just know your Father will always be there to pick you up!”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In 2020, Josie Harris, the mother of Jirah, Koraun, and Zion, died from an accidental overdose. Jirah shared her troubles with adjusting to life with Mayweather later in 2020, to which Mayweather responded on Instagram by telling her, “you can accomplish anything you set your mind to,” per the Shade Room.<\/a><\/p>\n going from a parent who put ur happiness before theirs to a parent who puts their happiness before yours is probably one of the most frustrating thing ever.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jirah Milan (@JIRAHMILAN) August 10, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n However, in recent years, Jirah and her father have been spotted together more often, including a trip the two appeared to take to Italy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Floyd Mayweather Jr. dad: Floyd Mayweather Sr.<\/p>\n Mayweather’s father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., was also a professional boxer from 1973 to 1990. He found at welterweight, and like his son, was known for his defensive strategies.<\/p>\n Mayweather Sr. often took Mayweather Jr. to train in boxing when he was growing up. While Mayweather Sr. has said that his son “wouldn’t be where he is today” without him, per the Mercury News<\/a>, Mayweather Jr. has said that he “basically raised himself” and chose to drop out of school and knew he “was going to have to box to earn a living.”<\/p>\n Mayweather Sr. has also admitted that he often sold drugs to make a living, but he also insisted that he kept his kids separated and did so to give them better lives.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though his daddy did sell drugs, I didn\u2019t deprive my son,\u201d Floyd Sr. said, per The Mercury News<\/a>. \u201cThe drugs I sold, he was a part of it. He had plenty of food. He had the best clothes, and I gave him money. He didn\u2019t want for anything. Anybody in Grand Rapids can tell you that I took care of my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Mayweather Sr. was a trainer for his son growing up, but he went to prison for over five years due to a drug-dealing conviction. When he returned, Mayweather Jr. was 14 fights into his professional career, and Mayweather Jr.’s uncle, Roger, took over as his trainer in 2000.<\/p>\n Mayweather Sr. has also been the trainer for boxers like Chad Dawson, Oscar De La Hoya, and Joan Guzman. He became the trainer for his son again for a brief period in 2006, but Roger once again took over, causing issues in the father-son relationship.<\/p>\n Once again in 2013, Mayweather Sr. became his son’s trainer for the rest of his career, which Floyd Jr. cited was due to Roger’s growing health issues.<\/p>\n Career boxing record<\/p>\n During his own boxing career, Floyd Mayweather Sr. had a record of 28-6-1, including 18 wins by knockout.\u00a0<\/p>\n Floyd Mayweather Sr upsets rising contender Jose \u201cThe Threat\u201d Baret, 1983 New York TKO8 #Boxing<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/bdFLrpbe3H<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Homicide Hank (@FightOdyssey1) May 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n In 1978, he fought Sugar Ray Leonard, breaking his hand and getting knocked out.
