Was Floyd Mayweather’s Mother, Deborah Sinclair, a Boxer?

Floyd Mayweather might have lived a fairy-life life with fame, power, success, and money all around. However, his childhood was far from being close to what he is today. ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd made his boxing debut at 19 with his father in his corner. However, Mayweather’s mother has had a huge part in the journey.

While the boxing world is aware of Mayweather’s father, Floyd Mayweather Sr, not much is known about his mother, Deborah Sinclair. Although the media spotted her in a few of Mayweather’s big fights, fans do not have much on her life.

Mrs. Sinclair had a tough life, and a difficult relationship with Mayweather Sr. It also put some effect in Jr’s childhood, but ‘Money May’ rose stronger from those setbacks. Aged 44, he is a multi-millionaire boxer with a clean 50-0 record and five-division championship wins. However, the family appears to be his first priority.

It wasn’t an easy phase for the family. The drug addiction also put a huge laceration on Mayweather Sr. and Deborah Sinclair’s marital status. Things became so vile that Sinclair’s brother tried to kill Sr. but little Floyd Mayweather Jr. saved his fathers’ life.
