Legend Boxing King Floyd Mayweather The next game is officially confirmed this week. He will play against MMA star Mihiro Asakura (also translated as Asakura Miku), but unfortunately it is still an exhibition match. More than two months ago, Japan's famous RIZIN combat alliance announced that it would host the Mayweather battle, but it has not announced the specific details of the game - time and location. Now, all related issues have been resolved. Mayweather will debut on September 25, and then go to the Super Arena of Saitama Prefecture, Japan, the hometown of Asakura Mihiro, to compete.
At the news meeting held in Hawaii, a "accident" occurred while facing each other. On that day, Asakura Miku was wearing a black vest and sunglasses. At first glance, it looked like the resurrection of the late singer Wong Ka Kui. While looking at each other, Asakura Miku held up his fist, looking aggressive, while Mayweather was unmoved and stared at the other party. However, Asakura Miku held up his fist annoyed Mayweather's bodyguard. He stood between the two and pushed Asakura Miku one meter away. At that time, Mayweather signaled that the bodyguards were not necessary, and the two sides were able to continue looking at each other. Although Asakura Mihiro was pushed out, he maintained great restraint and did not care about each other, but completed his work.
This time, Mihiko Asakura is the fourth exhibition match held after Mayweather defeated Connor McGregor in 2017 and officially withdrew from the boxing world. Mayweather, 45, is no stranger to his debut in Japan. Four years ago, he also played against kickboxing star Nasukawa Tensuke, under the operation of the RIZIN Fighting League, and knocked down his opponent three times in just one round. At that time, the RIZIN Fighting League provided Mayweather with a $9 million appearance fee.
Last June, Mayweather confronted the internet celebrity star Logan Paul. Although the other party was a novice, his physique made it impossible for him to fight Mayweather to fight Paul incredibly fight the whole game, and his performance was remarkable. In May this year, Mayweather made his debut in Abu Dhabu, Middle East. He almost beat his opponent in a confrontation with former coach Don Moore, and knocked down Moore once during this period. However, given that it was an exhibition match, the game did not determine the outcome.
Regarding the battle with Asakura Miku, Mayweather made a harsh statement before the game: "Although this is a boxing show match, as long as you hit your abdomen, your belly will be swollen like an eggplant. My attacking power is different from Asakura Miku, just like the jet and dragonflies. I enjoy life while traveling, which is really good."
Asakura Miku has obvious advantages in physique and age, especially because he is 16 years younger than Mayweather. However, Asakura Miku has no experience of boxing confrontation. He was not an elite in the MMA field before. He is more like an internet celebrity. The reason why Mayweather chose the other party was more because he was more interested in Asakura Miku's popularity in Japan. I wonder how Mayweather will deal with the other party?
