Metro Police say boxing trainer Roger Mayweather, who had been missing since Saturday morning, has been found.

"Roger Mayweather has been located and reunited with his family. Thank you for the assistance," Metro tweeted Sunday afternoon.

According to Metro Lt. Jeff Goodwin, Roger Mayweather, the uncle of Floyd Mayweather Jr., was located by family and was uninjured. No information about where he had been found or how family determined his location was immediately available.

Metro had issued a missing person alert for Roger Mayweather, 55, earlier today after he had last been seen early Saturday morning in the area of Spring Mountain Road and Valley View Boulevard, less than a mile away from Mayweather Boxing Club, according to police.

Police had said Roger Mayweather — who, according to the club's website, has had a longtime struggle with diabetes — was without his medication and could have been suffering from medical issues.

A former fighter, Roger Mayweather is also known for training boxers including his famous nephew. He was replaced for some of his nephew's bouts last year by Floyd Mayweather Sr.
