The 42-year-old retired from boxing in 2017 after stopping UFC star Conor McGregor in the 10th round of their boxing bout, but returned to the ring for an exhibition bout against young Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa late in 2018.

After a year of retirement, Mayweather has recently indicated his desire to return to the ring on a professional level and has been planning an event with UFC boss Dana White, likely toward the end of 2020.
