‘I Don’t Worry About No Opponent’: Floyd Mayweather Sends a Message to Mikuru Asakura

Five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is regarded as the greatest boxer of all times. With an illustrious professional boxing career lasting from 1996 to 2017, Mayweather has remained undefeated. However, the boxer still participates in exhibition bouts, and he is up for his next one soon.  

Floyd Mayweather recently said in an interview, “I don’t worry about no opponent, I’m the best, I’m the best in the world. So I want to go out there, have fun and get people excitement. Japan is a great place, so many beautiful people, a great atmosphere, I’m just happy to be here.”

Well, the American boxing legend is set to fight the Japanese fighter Mikuru Asakura in his upcoming exhibition bout on September 25th. ‘Money’ was asked about his opponent, and he clearly sent a message to Asakura that he was not at all worried about him. 

What is next for Floyd Mayweather? 

It appears that Mayweather will just walk away with a large sum of money after his match with Asakura, much like a drill for him. The American seems very sure about defeating him, and he has already made plans for his next exhibition bout. ‘Money’ is not just an exceptional boxer, he is also a marketing genius who knows how to earn money. He makes a nice living off of these exhibition matches, and his passion for the sport is also justified.

Apparently, the 45-year-old is in talks to fight Youtuber Deji in his upcoming bout. Fighting an online influencer is not a new thing for Mayweather, as he fought American Youtuber Logan Paul before. A date has not been finalised yet, but as per reports, the fight might take place on November 13th. Additionally, it is rumoured that it will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. 

Furthermore, apart from these exhibition fights, there is also a major fight coming up for the American. There are rumors that ‘Money’ will go up against UFC star Conor McGregor in the near future. Also, the boxing great might have to put his boxing record at risk for this showdown.
