Floyd Floyd Mayweather’s return to the ring was a brief one.
Days after holding a press conference to announce he would be coming out of retirement to fight Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, Mayweather is backing out of the bout.
The fight, which was supposed to happen on New Year’s Eve in Japan, was called off by Mayweather and his team because they claim they were “completely derailed” by the amount of attention the fight announcement drew.
Instead of facing the media or questions, Mayweather backed out on Instagram.

It’s a puzzling move as Mayweather, his business associate Brent Johnson, Nasukawa, and executives from the Rizin Fighting Federation all were at the press conference announcing the fight at Saitama Super Arena outside of Tokyo.
Details about the fight, including the format, number of rounds, the weight limit, and how much Mayweather would be paid, were never revealed.
