Floyd Mayweather only interested in boxing ‘YouTubers or MMA guys’, admits ‘I’m not what I once was’

Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to the boxing ring Sunday for an exhibition bout in which he knocked out Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura in the second round of the Super RIZIN headliner in Saitama, Japan.

Although only an exhibition, the bout played out like a real fight, with some reporters questioning whether Floyd was preparing to make a comeback against Manny Pacquiao, who was in attendance at the post-fight presser.

But rest assured, the 50-0 boxer is still retired and has no plans to fight any former world champions or high-level boxers, admitting he’s not the fighter he once was and is only interested in fighting ‘YouTubers or MMA guys’ going forward.
