May 29, 2009 - Atlanta, GA - VMG Worldwide, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vexiom Corporation, is the world’s most preeminent and diversified sports, entertainment, and media companies, is proud to announce the signing of Jeff Mayweather to an exclusive worldwide marketing agreement. Jeff Mayweather, a member of the world famous Mayweather boxing family, fought professionally from 1988-1997 and finished with a very respectable record of 32-10-5 10 ko's.
He was an IBO super featherweight world champion, and had two successful title defenses before his challenge against Israel “Pito” Cardona. He also faced world champions Oscar De La Hoya, Joey Gamache, and Jesse James Leija. After his retirement from his career as a professional boxer Jeff has launched a very successful career as a professional boxing trainer. He emerged onto the scene as a prominent boxing trainer in 2006 when he was training Ray Austin in an IBF eliminator fight against the highly favored and undefeated Sultan Ibragimov. In a fight, that many people thought that Austin should have gotten the win, they received a highly disputed draw in a great performance by both Austin and Mayweather.
Jeff then went on to train former world heavyweight world champion Shannon Briggs, and then trained Sultan Ibragimov to defeat Shannon Briggs by a wide unanimous decision to win the WBO world heavyweight title. Jeff has also trained former world champion Steve Forbes and current contender Lorissa Rivas. He is currently training the very talented up and coming and undefeated prospects Mickey and Cortez Bey. Tyler Barr, President of VMG Worldwide, added, "We are really looking forward to working with Jeff at this exciting time in his career. He is a very talented athlete with tremendous expertise to coach the best athletes in world boxing and we are thrilled he has chosen VMG to further develop his prominent brand and blossoming coaching career."
