Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring next month for another exhibition.
The 45-year-old former world weight champion is ready for action on September 25 in Japan.
Mayweather, who hung up his gloves in 2017, recently said that his best investment as a professional is buying himself out of a contract that allows him to make a lot of cash along the way. .
He will make more money facing MMA fighter and Youtuber Mikuru Asakura at the Super Arena in Saitama.

This will be Mayweather’s second appearance in Japan promotions after he fought there in 2018 when he was eliminated. Tenshin Nasukawa inside the first round.
Then ‘Money’ took part in a lucrative 8-round exhibition against social media influencers that made boxing enthusiast Logan Paul part of a pay-per-view program. Showtime has become one of the biggest events of 2021.
And now, Mayweather faces Asakura, who entered the show with a 16-3 record with a match unmatched in his mixed martial arts career, in the first Japanese boxing match. Copy.
Asakura has over 2.7 million followers on YouTube andrecently shared a video titled: ‘Manny Pacquiao Teaches Mikuru Asakura how to beat Mayweather.’
Mayweather, who holds the professional 50-0 record in boxing, fought Pacquiao, 43, in May 2015 for the WBA Super, WBC and WBO worldweight titles at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and hasn’t entered the ring in a professional match since stopping MMA star Conor McGregor in 10 rounds back in September five years ago.
McGregor, who hasn’t fought in almost a year since suffering a horrific broken leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier, shared a photo of his clash with Mayweather on Instagram in June – this raises speculation that they could settle again – and there were reports earlier this year that Mayweather and McGregor discussed a rematch.
