Floyd Mayweather says RIZIN fight vs. Tenshin Nasukawa isn’t happening: I ‘never agreed’ to it

Floyd Mayweather has burst the bubble on those eager to see him in a potential special rules bout later this year.

RIZIN FF made a massive announcement earlier this week that the 50-0 boxing legend would take on Japanese kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa in a “special” fight on New Year’s Eve at the famous Saitama Super Arena.

Not so fast.

Mayweather (and presumably his team) released a lengthy statement on Instagram announcing that not only did he not agree to face Tenshin, but claims that RIZIN completely caught him off guard with their plans for him.
