American former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather embraces the immense joy of parenting five kids: four biological and one adopted.
Renowned as the undefeated champion who won 15 major world championships, Floyd’s professional career spanned from 1996 to 2017.
The elite veteran is regarded as one of the best defensive boxers in history with numerous achievements and records throughout his career.
Born on February 24, 1977, Floyd was ranked by ESPN as the greatest boxer of the last 25 years, pound for pound.
Forbes ranked the athlete as the highest-paid athlete in the world, with total earnings, including endorsements, of $285 million.
Apart from his accomplished career, he is highly recognized for his dedicated efforts raising his children.
From his past relationships, Floyd takes pride in being the father of five children: two daughters and three sons.
He welcomed two sons, Koraun and Zion, a daughter, Jirah, with his late ex, Josie Harris, and a daughter, Iyanna, with his former girlfriend, Melissa Brim.
Two of the Eldest Kids of Floyd Mayweather Have Established Promising Careers in Music!
Koraun Mayweather, the eldest child of Floyd Mayweather and his ex-partner Josie Harris, was born in November 1999 and has a prominent career in music.
In 2018, he ventured his music journey by releasing his first single, “RACK$,” under the stage name King Koraun.
Moreover, the music video has accumulated almost 500k views, which reflects Koraun’s widespread popularity.
Subsequently, he unveiled his debut album, “A King’s Party,” in 2020, followed by the new single “Never Broke Again” in 2023.
Due to his parents’ fluctuating relationship, he reportedly spent more time with his mother in Las Vegas.
Despite the circumstances, Koraun Mayweather continued to spend time with his father on the weekends, enjoying activities like movies or bowling.
Likewise, the second eldest kid, Iyanna Mayweather, was born to the couple in May 2000.
Iyanna Mayweather is the only child of Floyd and his former partner Melissa Brim.
Following in her brother’s footsteps, she debuted her single “Oh Okay” under the stage name “MoneyYaya” in 2018.
Since the release of her debut single, the artist has not dropped any new music projects.
In 2019, she started dating rapper YoungBoy NBA, and the following year, Iyanna became entangled in a dispute with Lapattra Jacobs, the rapper’s ex-partner.
During the altercation, she struck Jacobs with a knife and was later sentenced to six years probation for the offense.
After Her Mother’s Passing, Jirah Admitted To Struggling While Living With Her Father
Floyd and his late ex Josie welcomed their second son, Zion Shamaree Mayweather, in April 2001.
Zion also experienced the ups and downs of his parents’ relationship; however, with the support of his siblings, he remained strong.
In addition, he frequently attended Floyd’s boxing matches, offering encouragement to his father.
Following his high school graduation, Zion launched his clothing brand, Philthy Rich Boys.
On the other hand, the 2003-born Jirah Milan Mayweather maintained a private lifestyle growing up.
She has amassed 177k followers on TikTok under the username “Jirahmilan,” where she shares trending videos and dance routines.
Likewise, Jirah also demonstrated her athletic abilities by actively participating in competitive cheerleading.
Floyd expressed his support on Facebook for his baby girl, Jirah’s meets, saying,
I’m 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. 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!
But the siblings’ lives took a dark turn when Josie Harris, their mother, passed away in 2020 due to an accidental overdose.
Additionally, Jirah admitted on her social media account that she was having trouble living with her father after losing her mother.
Moreover, Floyd is also the legal guardian of Devion Cromwell, Melissa Brim’s child from her past relationships.
