Floyd Mayweather may step into the ring with Tenshin Nasukawa after all.
Boxing’s biggest money draw told TMZ in a video interview published Thursday that he still might go to Japan and fight Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve. The bout would be a co-promotion between Mayweather Promotions and Rizin — and it would only be a boxing exhibition.
“It’s gonna be a little boxing exhibition,” Mayweather said. “No kicking at all. I’m moving around with the guy for nine minutes. And of course it’s gonna be the highest paid exhibition ever.”
Earlier this month, Mayweather surprisingly showed up at a Rizin press conference in Tokyo alongside Nasukawa and Rizin CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara.
