The Floyd Mayweather exhibition tour will continue under the Rizin Fighting Federation banner in September.
The Japanese promotion announced during a press conference that Mayweather will face Mikuru Asakura under boxing rules in an event that will air on the new Rizin Fight Pass service. An exact date for the event was not revealed.
Mayweather, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame over the weekend, retired from professional boxing with a 50-0 record following a victory over former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor in 2017. Since then he has appeared in three exhibition contests, including a three-knockdown performance against Tenshin Nasukawa at Rizin 14 that prompted the kickboxing standout’s corner to throw in the towel.
