On September 25, at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama (Japan), 45-year-old boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) will hold another exhibition fight – this time against the Japanese MMA fighter Mikura Asakura (16-3-1 in MMA ).
Yesterday, August 31, they saw each other for the second time, and at the end of the press conference they held a traditional duel of views.
At some point, in order to stir up public interest in such a show, Floyd’s ordinary bodyguard with a comical forelock performed a number – for no reason, he pushed Asakura away from his boss.
Judging by the peaceful reaction of the Japanese, the incident seems to have been conceived and arranged.
In May 2021, Mayweather boxed in the UAE: there was also an exhibition fight, and his former sparring partner Don Moore was the opponent. Everything went boringly and predictably ended without an announcement of the result.
