Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has been with a lot of women throughout his lifetime. The former five-division champion has been in relationships with multiple women and even has children with different women. However, his ex-partner Josie Harris was someone ‘Money’ cherished. Although the couple has had a tumultuous relationship leading to their divorce, Harris was not on the good side of fate.

Harris was also the mother of three of Mayweather’s children: Jirah, Zion and Koraun Mayweather. However, she would suffer tragedy after an accidental overdose would take her life. The 40-year-old was found dead in her car back in 2020 in the driveway of her Southern California home. It has been three years since Harris passed away, but it was not surprising that members of the Mayweather family all paid tribute to her on her death anniversary.

This was certainly a hard day for the Mayweather family, who had to go through the pain of losing a loved one. However, they will always remember Harris in their hearts as they paid tribute to her on the day she passed away. Moreover, despite ‘TBE’ not having the best relationship with her, she was still the mother of his children, which meant a lot to him.
