Floyd Mayweather wants to be best boxing trainer in the world

Floyd Mayweather wants to follow in his uncle's footsteps and become one of the best boxing trainers in the world.

The 15-time world title champion posted a video to Instagram Thursday of him training his 14-year-old nephew after training his son last week.

"As many of you know, I've had incredible trainers which included my dad and uncle. Due to the recent passing of my Uncle Roger, I've felt inspired to help those around me the same way they have been there for me throughout my boxing career," Mayweather wrote.

If Mayweather truly wants to become a trainer, he'll need to spend some extra time with his proteges in the gym.

Mayweather has not competed since 2017, but he did retire with an undefeated record. He also won a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 1996 Olympics.
