Whew! Looks like boxing greatness might just run in the family! Little KJ is already turning heads in the ring, and with grandpa Floyd Mayweather’s legendary legacy behind him, fans are buzzing that he might be following in those famous footsteps. Over the weekend, Melissia Rene gave everyone a peek at their grandson showing off his skills. And let’s just say, the hype is real.

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!

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.
