His final pro fight came against MMA star Conor McGregor five years ago, which Mayweather won by TKO in the tenth round.

Mayweather has since fought in exhibition bouts against Japanese MMA star Tenshin Nasukawa and YouTube sensation Jake Paul.

While his most recent foray into the ring came in May against Don Moore, who he faced in the UAE.

Now Money – who is estimated to have raked in over $1bn in career earnings – is set for another showdown this September.

When is Floyd Mayweather’s next fight?

Fight fans don’t have to wait long to see Mayweather return to the ring.

The Michigan native was renowned for his fast hands, supreme defense and exquisite movement in the squared circle.

And he showed again Moore earlier this year that he has not lost that Money magic.

Now he’ll put his body on the line again, this time facing former MMA champion Mikuru Asakura at a RIZIN Fighting Federation event in Japan.

The exhibition will reportedly be over three rounds and will be held on September 24, 2022. The match will begin at 11p.m. ET.

Asakura, 30, has sixteen wins and just three losses in his MMA career, with eight knockouts.

Reports have suggested that Mayweather could be ready to leave exhibition fights behind – and may even stun the world by coming out of retirement.

He previously told FightHype: “I got three more exhibitions this year [2022], could be one fight and two exhibitions.

“But guess what, you better know it’s at least and this is the lowest I’m talking about $200million.”

Mayweather looks to be taking the test seriously and is already in fight camp.

His coach Gerald Tucker in August 2022 uploaded a video of the American superstar doing sit-ups.

Tucker posted: “Working out is a lifestyle for us; so we don’t have to be around each other in order to get it in. We’re both there spiritually!!

“@floydmayweather is gearing up to start camp in a couple weeks to get ready for an exciting exhibition on Sept. 25TH in Japan vs their biggest and most popular MMA fighter who’s a very sharp and dangerous striker.”
