Lupta dintre Floyd Mayweather și Tenshin Nasukawa, care trebuia să fie organizată chiar în noaptea de Revelion, a fost anulată. Anunțul a fost făcut de pugilistul american, pe contul său de Instagram.
„Acum că m-am întors în SUA, după o excursie dezamăgitoare la Tokyo, vă voi vorbi despre lupta din 31 decembrie. Trebuie să fie clar faptul că eu, Floyd Mayweather, n-am fost niciodată de acord să mă lupt cu Tenshin Nasukawa. Cu tot respectul, nici măcar nu auzisem de el înainte să ajung în Japonia. Inițial mi s-a spus că voi participa într-o luptă amicală, care va dura trei runde, adică nouă minute. După ce am ajuns la conferința de presă, eu și echipa mea am devenit foarte nelămuriți.
Am realizat că această lupta ar urma să fie una oficială, astfel că am decis să opresc totul. Îmi prezint scuzele față de oamenii care au fost induși în eroare. Sunt un boxer retras care câștigă enorm de mulți bani pentru apariții, conferințe de presă și lupte amicale organizate ocazional. Îmi pare extrem de rău pentru că s-a produs această dezinformare”, a scris Mayweather, pe Instagram.
Ultimul meci al lui Mayweather a fost în august 2017, când l-a învins prin KO tehnic în runda a zecea pe starul din artele marțiale mixte, Conor McGregor, confruntare disputată pe regulament de box. Astfel, Mayweather a ajuns la 50 de victorii din tot atâtea meciuri în boxul profesionist.
View this post on Instagram Now that I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disappointing trip to Tokyo, I now have the time to address you, my fans and the media in regard to the upcoming event on December 31st that was recently announced. First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa. In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan. Ultimately, I was asked to participate in a 9 minute exhibition of 3 rounds with an opponent selected by the „Rizen Fighting Federation”. What I was originally informed of by Brent Johnson of „One Entertainment” was that this was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. This exhibition was previously arranged as a „Special Bout” purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide. Once I arrived to the press conference, my team and I were completely derailed by the new direction this event was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately. I want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and I can assure you that I too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent nor approval. For the sake of the several fans and attendees that flew in from all parts of the world to attend this past press conference, I was hesitant to create a huge disturbance by combating what was being said and for that I am truly sorry. I am a retired boxer that earns an unprecedented amount of money, globally, for appearances, speaking engagements and occasional small exhibitions.
