Hung up on phrases...

I get hung up when I use a series of phrases amid a sentence and then carry on with the sentence afterwards. Basically, I'm not sure if I CAN carry on with the sentence.
To illustrate: "Napoles was the Floyd Mayweather of his era, a boxing great, a welterweight sensation, a 'trade' sensation, who lived in Mexico City...

Is it right to carry on with "who lived in Mexico City..."?
