Floyd Mayweather and Rizin FF shocked the combat sports world late Sunday night with the announcement of a fight against kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa at Rizin FF 14 on New Year’s Eve.
Lots of questions still need to be answered. All we know right now is that it’s a “super challenge bout” and that the “rules and details are being negotiated and finalized,” according to a Rizin press release.
There’s plenty of hesitation around social media to take this seriously, but 41-year-old Mayweather was in Japan for a press conference Sunday night sitting with 20-year-old Nasukawa to announce the bout.
Believe what you want, but for the time being, this is being presented as 100 percent legit. There’s even a promo video to hype the fight, which you can watch in the video above.
