Floyd Mayweather’s oldest children have pursued careers outside boxing.

Floyd’s oldest son, Koraun, launched a music career under the stage name King Koraun and later released projects including A King’s Party. Although he occasionally trained with Floyd, Koraun previously said he did not plan to pursue professional boxing.

His daughter Iyanna, who is often called Yaya, also briefly entered the music industry. She later made headlines because of a 2020 legal case involving rapper YoungBoy NBA’s former partner, Lapattra Jacobs.

The outlet reported that Floyd was ordered to pay nearly $1 million in back child support alongside monthly payments exceeding $32,000. Court documents cited by TMZ reportedly stated that Floyd failed to respond to multiple court orders related to DNA testing and the legal proceedings, leading to a default judgment in Moorehead’s favor.
