After nearly three years of inactivity, Floyd Mayweather plans to return to the boxing ring in 2021. The 43-year-old recently teased his return and shared some interesting details about it.
Without the COVID-19 battles, Mayweather could have returned in 2020. He wanted to introduce a cross-promotion event with the UFC and hinted at possible fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov or Conor McGregor. However, these plans have been canceled over time. The undefeated boxer now wants to return to Japan and bring his fans another blockbuster event.
He is still in good physical shape and can present many complexities to his opponent. Many fans may not know that Mayweather battled Tensin Nasukawa after graduating from Conor McGregor in 2017. It was a one-sided encounter as it only took Mayweather 139 seconds to defeat his Japanese opponent.
Although Floyd Mayweather has the chance to stage his return somewhere in the world, he has chosen to fight again in Japan. Not only that, but he’s also annoyed about some big news.
Floyd Mayweather is back in fighting history
The undefeated world champion recently posted a video revealing the big news regarding his comeback. Mayweather’s return coincides with the Olympics, which are being held in the same country. With all the attention paid to the four year extravaganza, the events leading up to the Games are sure to get a lot of attention.
Speaking of his return, Mayweather said: “Tokyo, Japan. I’ll be back in 2021. I know the Olympics will be in Japan in 2021, but myself, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and my team are going to have some great successes at the Tokyo Dome. Line of trust, I want to be with you Thank you for treating me well and my team. Japan, I’m on my way. “
He has not yet announced his opponent. He won’t be out of one, however, after officially announcing his return. A fight against Mayweather can make a small fortune anyone. So no one would turn down Mayweather if they called.
At the same time, it is also important that a fighter’s resume hits the best in the ring. McGregor and Nasukawa lost the fame, and it’s time for others to test the same. Who do you think will fight Floyd on his return?
