Undefeated American boxer, Floyd Mayweather has defeated his opponent, 20-year-old Japanese kickboxer, Tenshin Nasukawa, in an exhibition bout which took place in Tokyo, Japan.
The 41-year-old dropped his Japanese opponent three times in the opening round of what was planned for a three-round fight. Mayweather knocked him out in just two minutes to win the clash.
After the fight, Mayweather who initially pulled out of the fight due to a misunderstanding between himself and the organisers that was later resolved said:
“We are both still undefeated, I did this to entertain the fans in Japan, they wanted this to happen and I said why not, Tenshin is still a great champion, I am still retired.
