Mayweather signs with RIZIN for a fight with a kickboxer

FLOYD Mayweather has sensationally announced he will fight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve in Japan (pictured left).

The 41-year-old boxer, unbeaten in all 50 of his career fights, has long been mooted with a move to mixed martial arts to fight Conor McGregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov.

But he has now revealed that he has signed with Japanese mixed martial arts promotions company RIZIN Fighting Federation, although it is not yet known what rules will be in place when he fights 20-year-old Nasukawa in Saitama.

The finances of the deal were not disclosed at Monday’s news conference. | Mail Online
