Floyd Mayweather Reflects on the Loss of His Ex-Wife Josie Harris and Uncle Roger Mayweather (Video)
Former American boxer, Floyd Mayweather, has recently shared about the passing of his ex-wife, Josie Harris, and his trainer uncle, Roger Mayweather, who both passed away last month.
The mother of three of Mayweather’s children, Josie Harris, was found dead on Monday, March 2, 2020. She was 40 years old and was discovered unresponsive in a car in Valencia, California.
A few days later, Floyd’s uncle, Roger Mayweather, passed away at the age of 58 after battling diabetes.
Struggling with his personal grief amid the global pandemic, Mayweather has recorded a video addressing his plans to provide assistance.
In a post on his Instagram channel, Mayweather said, ‘I haven’t had a chance to really come out and talk to the world, talk to the people.’
‘I’ve been dealing with a lot. As far as dealing with the loss of the mother of my children, she was a significant other, a great woman and a great person.’
‘And dealing with [the death of] a great trainer, an uncle, a father figure, Roger Mayweather. I’ve been dealing with a lot and haven’t had the chance to come out and speak to the world.’
Addressing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Mayweather added, ‘I’m affected by this. It hurts to see what the world is going through, but I want us to stick together and keep believing,
‘No one is perfect. I’m not perfect and strive to be a perfectionist every day. I make mistakes all the time and the only thing I can do is try to become better. But I’m here to help this world become a better place.’
Mayweather, whose net worth is around $565 million (£452m), emphasized his commitment to contribute to the fight against the coronavirus.
‘So with everything going on I’m going to continue to do my part and, I don’t have to show the world what I’m doing. I can do something behind closed doors, it’s not about the money,’ Mayweather added.
‘The money I’m giving up will be to feed the people and help the people who don’t have a lot in this situation.’
‘I will continue to give back and I will never talk about it. As long as god knows I’m doing a good deed, that’s what’s important to me.’
‘To everyone in the world, from Floyd Mayweather and the money team, we love you all and we will always be there for this country as well as this world.’
