It appears that Floyd Mayweather has taken an interest in training the next generation in the boxing world; his grandson Kentrell Jr. affectionately called KJ.
The former world champion uploaded a video to social media showing him trading blows with a sparring partner ahead of his upcoming exhibition match against Don Moore on May 14 in Dubai.
In the Instagram post, Floyd Mayweather’s one-year-old grandson and his daughter, Yaya Mayweather, watched ringside.
In the caption dedicated to KJ, Floyd said he is thankful for his grandfather teaching him the science behind boxing and retiring undefeated.
“Grandson, I’m very thankful for your great Granddad teaching me the sweet science of boxing, to hit and not get hit,” Floyd wrote. “I believe in working smarter, not harder. I retired from the sport undefeated with all my accolades and on my own terms. Even in retirement, I’m still able to milk the game of boxing, continuing to make 8 figures or more.”
He concluded the post by saying he will continue to do exhibition bouts because his hustle is different. Floyd also noted that if entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett can continue to make money at their age, he can too.
“I will continue to do exhibition bouts making tons of money and people from all around the world will continue to pay because my hustle is just different,” Floyd said. “If Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and the Waltons continue making money in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, then I’m not retiring from making money and I’m younger than all of them. DON’T GET MAD, THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTED.”
