NEW YORK: Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring with a fight in Tokyo in February 2021, organizers said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), but who he will fight and under what rules was left unclear. “Tokyo, Japan, I’m coming back, in 2021,” he said in the clip. Mayweather floored the kickboxer less than half his age three times in the first round before the Japanese fighter’s trainer rushed in to stop the fight. Mayweather hinted online that he earned $9 million for the two-minute fight. In 2017, Mayweather knocked out mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in the 10th round of a super-hyped boxing match.
