Floyd Mayweather gives three-year-old grandson a boxing masterclass as adorable toddler says 'my hands are too little'

Floyd Mayweather is already leaving quite the impression on his first grandchild.

The retired 50-0 boxing legend has four biological children and one adopted son, with his eldest daughter Iyanna ‘Yaya’ Mayweather, 24, becoming a mother three years ago.

The father of her child is rapper Kentrell DeSean Gaulden (better known as NBA YoungBoy), who has eleven children with nine different women at the age of 24

As such, they named their son Kentrell DeSean Gaulden Jr (or KJ for short).

NBA YoungBoy is now married to Jazlyn Mychelle – the mother of two of his other children.

He is no longer on good terms with Floyd Mayweather or Yaya Mayweather following an incident in which Yaya stabbed Lapattra Jacobs (mother to another of NBA YoungBoy’s children) at his home while Jacobs was pregnant.

Yaya pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six years of probation.

As a result of this, she is now seemingly bringing up her son without his father’s involvement.

More recently, NBA YoungBoy has agreed to plead guilty to a federal weapons charge.

He is now facing up to 10 years in prison, federal prosecutors have said.

Thankfully, three-year-old KJ has found a prominent male role model in the form of his grandfather.

Last year, Mayweather began posting videos of himself and his grandson on Instagram, even making an account for KJ.

And today he took to social media to show footage of himself giving the three-year-old a boxing masterclass in the gym.

KJ began by lightly hitting the heavy bag with single punches.

After being showed by his grandfather to throw quick combinations he adorably replied: “My hands are too little.”

KJ did give it a good go though, beginning to fire off one-twos on the heavy bag.

One of these combinations nearly knocked the toddler off his own feet.

A minute later, Mayweather walked over to the speed bag.

KJ followed and giggled watching his grandfather’s incredible technique.

While Mayweather rattled the speed bag, KJ jumped up and tried to reach it himself.

However, the pint sized boxer will have to wait a few more years until he is able to do so.

Mayweather is staying sharp because he is set to return to action in an exhibition fight against John Gotti III in Mexico on Saturday night.
