Floyd Mayweather arrived at Mayweather Boxing Gym in his white Ferrari and went inside to meet up with a crowd of photographers and media who surrounded the champ and dove into their interviews about the May 1st fight against Shane Mosley.

What captured my eye while waiting for Floyd to arrive was 5 year old Lehkei Mayweather, son of Roger Mayweather – Floyd’s trainer and Uncle. Roger was training with his 5 year old son who showed off his boxing chops. At age 5 you already can see he has the Mayweather champion spirit written all over him. Young Lehkei shadow boxed through the ring while the media waited around for Floyd. He seemed right at home in the ring. Like his cousin and champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., Lehkei was not shy around the cameras either.
