Of course, Mayweather is most famous for his incredible boxing skills – he is a world champion in five different weight classes and has never been defeated in a professional match.
However, Mayweather’s children are also making headlines. Let us take a closer look at them today.
All You Need to Know About Floyd Mayweather’s Kids:
Koraun Mayweather:
Koraun is the oldest of Mayweather’s children. Unfortunately, he does not have a good relationship with his father. This was because Mayweather didn’t behave well with Koraun’s mother, Jossie Harris. Mayweather was arrested in 2010 for domestic battery against Harris.
Koraun is known for his large social media following, with 380,000 followers on Instagram. He also runs his Youtube Channel called, King Koraun. He is passionate about being a singer and songwriter.
Iyanna Mayweather:
Mayweather’s daughter, Iyanna is the only one of his children who has a great bond with her father, Mayweather. She has been very pampered and “spoilt” by him. She is 21 years old.
She has been showered with expensive gifts, especially on the occasion of Iyanna’s birthday every year. On her 14th birthday, she got two Mercedes Benz cars as a gift!
Mayweather is very close to his daughter and often posts pictures of her on social media platforms. She is the daughter of Mayweather and Melissa brim.
Zion Mayweather:
Zion Mayweather is 20 years old. Though Zion’s mother Jossie Harris and his dad Floyd Mayweather don’t share a great bond, he’s very close to this dad.
He is a social media star and has a huge following on social media platforms. Zion is the middle child of Mayweather and Jossie. Eldest being Koruan and the youngest being Jirah.
Zion’s 16th birthday was a huge bash. Along with a Mercedez Benz, he even witness Young Thug perform which was a birthday gift from his dad.
Some say that Zion may decide to follow his Floyd’s footsteps with boxing but it is all just whispers right now.

Jirah is the youngest of all and sadly doesn’t share a good relationship with her father. She has openly spoken against Floyd Mayweather on social media platforms. Jirah is also a social media star i.e an influencer.
She is known for being a Tik Tok and Youtube star. She is 18 years old.
Devion Cromwell:
Melissa Brim, Floyd’s former girlfriend, has a kid named Devion Cromwell. Floyd reared him but never formally adopted him, therefore he is regarded as Floyd’s adopted son.
Following a dispute, Floyd was blamed for strangling his adopted son Devion Cromwell. Floyd came suddenly to Melissa’s home on Halloween 2014 and saw Devion with some friends. Devion was claiming that Floyd was not his real father which angered Floyd and pushed him to the brick of strangeling Devion.
