Many boxers retire from the sport by the age of 40. However, the American talisman Floyd Mayweather,45, has been entertaining his fans with his exhibition fights. He recently defeated Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura with a solid knockout. But what happened before the fight is gaining a lot of traction on the internet.
In the video above, we see a Japanese come with flowers to greet Floyd Mayweather before the fight. However, instead of handing them gently, he literally threw the bouquet in front of Mayweather. Despite that, the American boxer picked up the bouquet which was lying on the ground.

Following that, there has been making a lot of noise online. Although the video was recently deleted by the Twitter Handle, we can still see some of the best fan reactions.
I think it's really embarrassing act as the same Japanese. He is now hated even in Japan. And he apologizes to everyone as a fellow Japanese.

Tenshin Nasukawa, a Japanese boxer that ‘Money’ had previously faced, was knocked out by the American in the opening round of their battle. However, even this time Mayweather knocked out Asakura but in the second round, which earned him around $20 million.
What is next for Floyd Mayweather?
The five-division boxing champion had already revealed his next exhibition match even before his September 25 bout. Apparently, ‘Money’ mentioned that he will face British Youtuber Deji next in an exhibition fight.

Furthermore, there is another ferocious opponent who might be seen inside the squared circle against Mayweather. Well, UFC superstar Conor McGregor, who has been inactive in the sport due to an injury, seems to have recovered now. Just a few days before, the 45-year-old American revealed that he will be fighting the Irishman in 2023.
The first clash between the two took place in 2017, as Mayweather ended his professional career with a 50-0 record as he defeated ‘The Notorious’. It is regarded as one of the most lucrative fights of all time. And even this one is speculated to garner a huge amount of money.
