WBC mourns the passing of Roger Mayweather<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>We have received the very sad news of the death of former world champion Roger Mayweather at age of 58.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roger, originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, won world titles in two divisions, Super Featherweight and Lightweight. The first, the super featherweight crown, he won by defeating Puerto Rican Samuel Serrano in 1983.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second, the WBC superlight, conquered it by defeating Mexican Ren\u00e9 Arredondo, in 1987, when he knocked him down three times in the sixth round so the referee decreed a technical knockout victory. Roger \u00a0made four successful defenses of his belt before losing it to mighty Mexican Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez in 1989.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In addition to being an electrifying fighter, he was instrumental and crucial in training plus guiding his nephew Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s successful career, \u00a0since his debut in 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n

The World Boxing Council and its President \u00a0Mauricio Sulaim\u00e1n Sald\u00edvar, send Roger’s family and friends their deepest condolences, at this moment intertwined with great sorrow. But also indelible memories of a wonderful, dedicated, talented and courageous champion, who`ll forever be the pride of Boxing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rest In Peace Dear Champion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
