“It was all about entertainment. We had fun,” Mayweather said after the fight, via ESPN.com. “I'm still retired. I don't look forward to coming back to boxing. I did it just to entertain fans in Japan. I'm still retired, I'm still 50-0, and Nasukawa is still undefeated and a hell of a fighter.”
Mayweather’s last fight came on Aug. 26, 2017 when he knocked out Conor McGregor in 10 rounds. The former world champion hasn’t fought a professional boxer since defeating Andre Berto on Sept. 12, 2015 by unanimous decision.
