✔️ 2022-09-25 06:17:35 – Paris/France.
Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. makes another leg of his exhibition tour tonight (Saturday, September 24, 2022), returning to Japan to take on Rizin star and social media sensation Mikuru Asakura in the familiar halls of the Saitama Super Arena.
MMAmania will have live coverage of the FITE PPVwhich begins at 23:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
This isn't the first time 'Money' has worked with the promotion, as he infamously torched Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year's Eve 2018. He won't have that kind of height advantage against natural featherweight Asakura, if that in any way sparks your interest in wrestling.
