Mayweather plans to fight kickboxer

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather says he and Japanese kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa will meet after all – but only in a nine-minute New Year’s Eve exhibition.

Mayweather said the match in Tokyo would be for entertainment purposes only, with no judges, no official record – and no kicking.

“I’m in the entertainment business. That’s what I go out there to do,” Mayweather said Thursday at his Las Vegas gym. “I love to do this. I’m working out to put on a show for three rounds.”
