This week my guest is a former boxer and for the past few decades world-class trainer, and one of the most well-known families in boxing, Jeff Mayweather.
I had a great conversation with Jeff, he was very gracious with his time and was very honest about all of the questions that I asked them and gave us great insight into who he was the fighter and how he trains his athletes now. Jeff grew up in Grand Rapids Michigan with his Brothers who were all professional boxers and all had their success. His eldest brother Floyd Mayweather senior was a former welterweight contender, his other brother Roger was a two-division world champion and he in his career, was a former IBO super featherweight champion.
In this episode we talk about:
•What it was like growing up with his brothers
•How he got involved in boxing
•The promise he made his mother left him a little conflicted
•The mindset it takes to be a champion
•Why he considers himself more of a life coach than just a boxing trainer
•We talk about the Mayweather name and why it's important to protect that name
•We talk about what he saw in his nephew Floyd Mayweather Jr that made him different and what his best performance was
•We talk about his top five favourite boxers of all time and what he thinks about this generation of boxers + so much more
Whether you are a boxing enthusiast or not, I believe you'll enjoy this episode and get a lot from his journey I know that I did.
