Boxing Runs In The Family

In the adorable clip, KJ is seen rocking a T-shirt, basketball shorts, dark Adidas sneakers paired with white socks, and his hair pulled up into a bun. The young champ had his gloves on and was getting straight to it, throwing punches at what appeared to be a trainer kneeling in front of him and catching every hit.

Additionally, the setting looked like Floyd Mayweather’s personal training space, with “The Money Team” banners seen hanging across the gym — a nod to Floyd’s iconic brand and legacy in boxing. The video even featured text that read, “WHEN PAPA TRAINS KJ TRAINS” along with a red heart, happy tears emoji, and a boxing glove emoji — making it clear that boxing is truly a family affair. If this is any indication, KJ is already getting an early start under the watchful eye of his famous granddad. Period!

Some Roomies were already crowning KJ as a future GOAT, saying he’s clearly on the path to greatness. While a few others joked that they already know they don’t want any smoke with him. And of course, you already know several commenters laughed that it’s time to start putting their parlays together now — ‘cause baby, they see the legacy in the making!

KJ’s Energy Can’t Be Contained

Back in January, Yaya Mayweather took to X to share some real talk about her son, KJ. “I be feeling bad for my baby because the kids he be around don’t understand him,” she wrote. “He likes roughhousing and the kids he be around don’t be with that s**t… he need to be around his kind or around some kids that’s a little bit older.” Clearly, Yaya is all about making sure KJ gets the right kind of playmates who match his energy and spirit.

Her post came roughly a week after KJ celebrated his fifth birthday in true superstar fashion. As previously reported, the basketball-themed party went down at a Shoot 360 club, with grandparents Floyd Mayweather and Melissa Rene on deck to celebrate the little champ’s big day. Furthermore, they proved that even from the start, KJ’s life is all about family, fun, and a little competitive edge.
