The boxing world is in mourning today following the shocking and sudden death of Justin Roger-Myers Jr, the 34-year-old half-brother of undefeated champion Floyd 'Money' Mayweather.
Roger-Myers Jr, who shared the same father as the boxing legend, passed away unexpectedly in Leeds, sending ripples of grief through the Mayweather family and their inner circle.
Mystery Surrounds Untimely Passing
While official details remain scarce, family members have confirmed the devastating news and expressed their heartbreak over losing someone so young. The circumstances surrounding his death are currently unclear, leaving loved ones searching for answers.
Floyd Mayweather, known for his extravagant lifestyle and perfect 50-0 professional record, has yet to make a public statement about the family tragedy. However, sources close to the boxing icon confirm the entire family is reeling from the unexpected loss.
A Life Away from the Spotlight
Unlike his famous half-brother, Justin Roger-Myers Jr largely stayed out of the public eye, choosing to live a more private life in Leeds. While Floyd Mayweather became a global sports phenomenon, Justin maintained a lower profile, though he remained connected to the family that included boxing royalty.
The Mayweather boxing dynasty extends beyond Floyd, with uncle Roger Mayweather also being a former champion and trainer. This latest tragedy adds to the family's history of both triumph and heartbreak within the sport.
Community and Family React
Friends and extended family members have begun sharing tributes online, describing Justin as a beloved family member whose sudden passing has left a void that cannot be filled. The tight-knit boxing community has also started offering condolences to the grieving Mayweather family.
As investigations continue into the exact cause of death, the family is requesting privacy during this difficult time while they come to terms with their devastating loss.
