Floyd Mayweather is one of the most accomplished boxers and media personalities in the world. Mayweather was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on February 24, 1977. His family is full of accomplished boxers, including his father and two uncles, so he began training at an early age, frequently taking him to the gym to train. He grew up jumping between his parents’ houses and his grandmother’s house after his father’s incarceration, and Mayweather has stated that he found boxing to be an outlet.
