Fans have mocked 50-0 boxing legend Floyd Mayweather for his latest fight announcement after he confirmed that he will face MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura.
The former fighter was inducted in the boxing hall of fame last weekend, and has since confirmed that he will be competing in his fourth major exhibition bout this September in Japan. It follows a Dubai meeting with Don Moore last month and an outlandish bout against YouTuber Logan Paul in June of 2021, with his first coming in Japan against Tenshin Nasukawa.
Asakura is one of the most famous MMA fighters in Japan, but has never boxed at any serious level, while Mayweather is arguably the greatest to ever compete in the sport. He has a 16-3 record, which includes eight knockouts, but most of those have come with the help of his devastating kicks, which won't be legal in the exhibition.
