Legendary boxing trainer Roger Mayweather dead at 58

There’s some sad news to report from the world of boxing.

Roger Mayweather, a former world champion boxer turned iconic boxing trainer, passed away at just 58 years old. TMZ Sports reported his death on Tuesday, with Mayweather’s camp confirming the news in a statement, adding that Roger succumbed to a long battle with diabetes.

Roger’s passing comes just days after Josie Harris, the mother of Floyd Mayweather’s children (and whom Floyd was sentenced to jail for physically abusing), was found dead in her car, aged just 40. Foul play has been ruled out but her cause of death is yet to be determined.
