February 28th, 2021, Tokyo, Japan, and the legend returns. Boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, set to make a sensational return into the square ring.
Mayweather had plans for 2020 but had to postpone due to the global pandemic. The boxing star called a press conference for ‘MEGA 2021’ to reveal that he would be part of the event on February 28th, at the Tokyo Dome. The fight has the potential of being the biggest sporting event in 2021, considering the frenzied reactions by fight fans.
The announcement does not however reveal details of who he will fight, or what format the fight will be in. It does seem unlikely to be an MMA fight.

Mayweather was said to have cancelled the fight at first, after agreeing. He stated he’d only agreed to do a non-televised exhibition in front of a small private group. He also complained of been blindsided by a sudden press conference and announcement.
