The American international has been a fan of fighting since his childhood, as he started fighting in an illegal boxing club when he was a teenager despite undergoing training with his father. He attended Ottawa Hills High School but later dropped out.

Early Career

Mayweather’s amateur career was the genesis of his boxing career success. During his amateur career, he developed his skills so well that he soon understood the dynamics of his style of boxing. One of such was the defensive boxing techniques he adopted following his uncle’s training.

Mayweather fought in 92 matches throughout his amateur boxing career and saw defeat just 8 times. Among the notable championships young Mayweather won are 1993, 94, and 96 National Golden Gloves Championship as well as the Bronze at the 1996 Olympics.

His professional career began in October 1996, when he competed in his first bout. Though his early years were marred by rifts with his father which involved him firing him as his trainer, Mayweather remained focused, recording successive wins, until he landed his first title win in 1998, the WBC super featherweight title.

He later proceeded to the lighter weight division after defending his belt for three years and the featherweight division was up.

Became Light Welterweight Champion In 2006

The American boxer soon left the lightweight division and went on to the fight in the Light welterweight where he quickly rose through the rank after defeating Zab Judah to become the division champion in 2006.

After his success in the welterweight division, Mayweather went on to the light-middleweight division where he claimed the WBC title, before returning to the welterweight division after giving up his light-middleweight championship. He won his welterweight championship again and went on to win the light welterweight championship, which he didn’t win earlier. He then went on to retire in 2007.
