Mom💔You brought so much strength and joy to this world, even while you were in pain. You will be remembered forever😪 I love you so much. I miss you already #RIP #Mom
5/24/2025💔RIP Mom, my forever hero. This was all supposed to be for you. I’m nothing without you. I still can’t find a way to believe this. I don’t feel it’s real. Just know I did what you asked me to go out and accomplish. I just hope you saw.
I just want to take a minute to thank you all for the amazing support🙏As I continue to process this with the family, I’ve decided to step away from boxing. On May 24, 2025, just a few hours after I returned home to bring my mother the belt from our last victory, she passed away from stage 4 colon cancer. My mom literally waited until I got home safely after my win, as she told me before I took off “I’ll be waiting for you, good luck son.” That alone shows how strong of a mother she truly was. I’m very grateful that she got to witness what we did for her on May 22nd, a victory that was bigger than just boxing. I’m happy to have honored you in such a way, but very sad to come home to this un expected outcome. My faith has always been very strong, even when the doctors were giving us no hope. The whole point of fighting was to bring her joy and give her strength to win her battle, just like the strength that she gave me to win mine. I’ve spent so much time chasing my dreams that I didn’t realize how much I’d miss her when she’s gone. It’s all starting to hit me now. All the moments I sacrificed away from my mom is what’s truly hurting me. You were our hero, and you never showed us weakness, even while you were in pain. It hurts to say goodbye, but thank you for being with me on this ride. This journey of mine truly put a smile on my mother’s face. But now I’m going to take some time to realign with God and figure out my path and purpose in this world, because everything was supposed to be for her. She was everything to me, the heart and soul of my entire career. Rest in peace, Mom. I love you. 💔
