Some memories never fade. They linger for eons. Especially for a child who lost his mother, memories are the only way to visit the hallowed pages of the past. Zion Shamaree Mayweather was yet to turn nineteen when he received the shocking news of his mother’s unfortunate demise. Over the following years, he committed to establishing an identity independent of his legendary father, Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s legacy and accomplishments. But undeniably, as his latest Instagram story displays, he is more than happy to run down memory lane to capture priceless happy times.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. never married. But through his relationships with longtime girlfriend Josie Harris and later Melissa Brim, he became a father to four children. Koroun, Zion Shamaree, and Jirah were born to Harris. Brim, on the other hand, gave birth to Iyanna Mayweather. The undefeated former champion also adopted Devion Cromwell, Brim’s child from a previous relationship.

Though it is difficult to pinpoint the exact year when the photo could have been taken, the Instagram story that he shared with his over two hundred thousand followers today shows young Koroun, Jirah, and Iyanna accompanying Zion Shamaree Mayweather, with Josie Harris standing behind. The smiles on their faces could tell a million stories. The family picture in Halloween finery was a sight to behold.

Josie Harris was discovered dead in a car outside her California residence on March 10, 2020. According to an article in USA Today, per an autopsy, an unintentional overdose was the cause of her death. Her relationship with the boxing champion reportedly began in the early 1990s. But it was a rocky one to start with. Josie Harris filed cases of domestic abuse against the boxing legend. After a December 2011 sentencing, Mayweather Jr. served only two months of his 3-month prison sentence.
