Floyd Mayweather will fight in Japan once more in another exhibition, this time against MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura.
Promoters on Tuesday claimed the bout is scheduled for September, though the rules and size of the bout have not but been made public.
Mayweather retired undefeated from experienced boxing just about five yrs back but has been preventing exhibitions, with a bout in opposition to Asakura – the 29-year-outdated a previous two-division MMA winner – to be his fourth given that retirement in 2017.
Just more than a few yrs in the past in Japan he knocked out Tenshin Nasukawa, a effectively-recognised Japanese kickboxer, although he confronted previous sparring spouse Don Moore in Abu Dhabi previous thirty day period, and confronted YouTuber Logan Paul more than 8 rounds previous summer.
Mayweather was inducted into the Global Boxing Corridor of Fame on Sunday in the United States.
“My legacy is by now engraved in stone, like I reported ahead of, but it is still good just to go all around the entire world and entertain persons from all walks of life,” mentioned Mayweather. “I’m pretty sure he is gonna occur out and give his greatest, like any and just about every male, but I’ve viewed every single type, so, my task is just to go out there, be me, have pleasurable and do what I do most effective.
“September we are likely to have exciting and entertain men and women. I’m Floyd Mayweather to him. He is just a different opponent to me.”
Japan’s Asakura, whose MMA document reads 16-3, claimed: “My name is Mikuru Asakura and I’ll be preventing Floyd Mayweather. I’m an MMA fighter but I am going to use this option and I’m heading to use him to increase my name and value internationally. I am heading to win this fight.”
