Brother Floyd Mayweather, Justin Mayweather, parked his career in a ditch aged 7-0, despite the undefeated run.

Justin Jones, which is aimed at “Justin Mayweather Jones”, is the son of Floyd Mayweather Sr. and half -brother Floyd Jr.

Jones is one of the six well-known children of Floyd Sr., including a daughter born in 2017 for a 72-year-old former boxer.

Others are Fatimah, Detricia, Fannie and currently eight -year -old Nalai Mayweather, born for mother Purisa Farris, who successfully suffered a Mayweather sr. for maintenance in 2018.

Mayweather Sr. He has his hands full and perhaps the reason why he stopped training Justin, the only other eminent son, after Floyd Jr.

The 38-year-old fought only seven times in nine years, but he probably never lost the round at that time, keeping his name.

It seems that the Mayweather debuted in 2013 at home at Grand Rapids, and recently fought in 2022. Most of his attacks took place in Mexico, when Jones defeated many opponents.

He defeated Rick Ogden in his debut on his debut on the fifth third pitch to start his career. Jones stopped Ogden, 0-2, in the second round. Ogden lost thirteen of thirteen duels, so the initial win was nothing to write about.

Next appeared Albert Lee, who debuted against Jones in 2016. Until now, Jones moved his career to Mexico after two and a half years of absence in the ring. Lee lasted only 128 seconds with Mayweather, who began to boost his activity.

The fact that Lee never fought again became something like a topic, like six days later Jones stopped the debutant Alfred Tisdale Jr. In the only effort of man Fresno.

Jones took the next two years before he returned to the welterweight to face 2-5 Luis Gonzalez. Winning each round, Jones moved to 4-0 in August 2018.

At that time, Jones was the Mayweather gym, a regular and rubbing arms with some of the best names in the industry.

Despite the work, another 19 months passed before Jones returned to the ring in November 2019, again on the Mexican land. Beating 3-10, Antonio Gonzalez through early knockout led to another compact violent violent deviation.

Three months later, the fourth career of the first round took place, when Jones faced Christian Foster in Jamaica. Like Gonzalez, Tisdale and Lee, Foster never fought after Jones defeated him.

Another huge gap came for Jones, who returned in May 2022 for what turned out to be his last duel. He won each round of four against Luis Acevedo Sosa in Tijuana to cross his record to 7-0.

Brother Floyd Mayweather

Despite his name and obvious talent of Mayweather Jones, six rounds have never passed. This is a secret for which someone with his genes would not work anymore to see if he had a fraction of what his siblings had in his cabinet.

Mayweather Jr. He finished at 50-0 and fought everyone who was anyone during his term. Floyd Jr. He has one of the most respected CVs in sport and has exceeded over a billion dollars in bags and contract fees.

For Jones, this could be a case of pushing in a career, which he was not ecstatic simply because he was the brother of Floyd Mayweather, which caused only seven sporadic fights.

Regardless of the case, Jones has not fought for three years and looks unlikely to come back when he approaches forty.
