Floyd Mayweather Promotions is taking an unconventional and bold approach to shaping the career of 17-year-old junior lightweight prospect, Curmel Moton. Unlike the typical cautious progression for young talents, Mayweather Promotions envisions Moton achieving significant milestones in months rather than years.
This distinctive strategy signals a high level of confidence in Moton’s abilities and potential for rapid success under the guidance of Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather. Now, he’s scheduled to step inside the ring on March 30th. But all of this came his way because of his training and hard work. The fans got a glimpse into the past of the young prodigy.

Next month Floyd Mayweather’s protege will most probably be seen getting his gloves up for the third bout of his professional career. However, there was a time when he was still relatively unknown and since that time, he’s been training hard with the Mayweather clan. The evidence for this was posted on X a few hours ago.
One of the members of Mayweather Promotions, Ronald Harris, boasted his long-time tenure with the banner. So, he uploaded a video of the kid Curmel Moton who was indulging in some pad work with Floyd Mayweather Sr. Moton was surprised to see the video, and retweeted it with the caption, “Crazy.”
He must have gone on a nostalgic drive after seeing the video since he’s come a long way after the video was shot. The fans were also surprised by the sparring session involving the adolescent Moton.
