An-Najah News - Undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will compete in Japan in February 2021 but details as to the opponent or the type of fight it will have yet to be revealed.

The 50-0 star was expected to fight in some capacity this year but plans to do so were waylaid by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

His return appears a step closer after organizers of an event called 'Mega 2021' which will be held at the world-famous Tokyo Dome on February 28. 

Promoters for the event said that 'champion-class' fighters will compete on the card.

"Tokyo, Japan, I'm coming back, in 2021," Mayweather said in a video post. "I know the Olympics is in Japan in 2021, but me, myself, Floyd 'Money' Mayweather and my team will be doing something big in Tokyo Dome... Japan, I'm on my way."

Attention will now turn to the identity of Mayweather's opponent. UFC stars McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have frequently been linked with Mayweather in the press for much of the last couple of years.
