According to a report by TMZ, former world champion and veteran trainer Roger Mayweather has passed away at the age of 58. Mayweather's camp confirmed the passing.

Roger, the uncle of former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather, trained the superstar fighter for the bulk of his Hall of Fame career.

Roger's health has been declining for several years and became bad enough to force Mayweather to make a tough decision to obtain a new trainer - and he eventually reunited with father, also a veteran trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr.

The exact cause of death and where he was found has not been revealed/

Mayweather had previously discussed his uncle's poor health in several interviews. He believes his uncle took too much punishment in the ring, which led to his lifelong injuries.

"My uncle Roger Mayweather has lost a lot of memory from the sport of boxing," Floyd said ... "He's only in his 50s but it seems like he's an old man in his 80s."

I met him in Vegas when he was about 40. He was a cool guy. RIP Roger Mayweather.

He did look MUCH older than 58.

RIP Uncle Rog.

One of the best things said in boxing.

What? First his ex-wife, now his uncle? That's sad...

What a horrible month for Floyd Jr.

Sad to hear it for him and his family.

RIP Roger

RIP. Very much enjoyed his fights. He fought some bona fide legends. A very sharp thin man with a stiff right. Edit - I also admired his jab.

I regard him as a legendary trainer - he helped foster a more aggressive/offensive Floyd Jr.

Did he fight ODLH aswell?

Yea I just checked. Roger though fought Chavez twice, Whitetaker, Tszyu... Entertaining fighter and very well schooled.

RIP Roger.

RIP champ! With so many deaths in the family I wonder if it has to do with COVUS-19??

RIP, Champ...…..

RIP Roger.

Enjoyed watching his fights in the 80’s on ITV. His win against Harold Brazier was particular good.

Sad news indeed. Rest in peace champ.

Rip Black Mamba.

RIP Roger Mayweather

I enjoyed watching The Black Mamba fight. He always came prepared and in shape and and was a very entertaining fighter . He was a very good boxer with dynamite in his right hand, and he fought a lot of the best fighters of his era and beat a number of them.

RIP champ.
