Retired boxing superstar and fifteen times world champion Floyd Mayweather is set to come out of retirement next year as he has announced to step inside the ring on 28th February 2021 at the Tokyo Dome.
Floyd Mayweather will be back in action in Japan after a 2-year hiatus
With an astounding 50-0 professional record plus 27KOs, Floyd Mayweather was last seen in action against Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018. However, his last pro bout dates back to 2017 to the historical fight against UFC icon Conor McGregor. Moreover, his last fight against a boxer is two more years in the past- when Mayweather faced Andre Berto in September 2015.
