Floyd Mayweather denies agreeing to bout against Kickboxer

Floyd Mayweather has not agreed to an official bout with Kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, the former five-weight world boxing champion has said on Instagram. Mayweather wrote: "First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa." He added: "In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan." "I was asked to participate in a nine-minute exhibition of three rounds with an opponent. "This was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. "This exhibition was previously arranged purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide. "I want to sincerely apologise to my fans for the very misleading information."
