Retired professional boxer Floyd Mayweather shocked the world when he announced that he will battle Tenshin Nasukawa at Rizin 14.
Mayweather’s last fight was against former two division UFC champion Conor McGregor, whom Mayweather defeated via tenth round TKO in what was dubbed “The Money Fight.”
McGregor would take to Instagram to comment on Mayweather’s upcoming bout:
Nasukawa also got wind of McGregor’s “Rush Hour 5” and “Jackie Chan” references, issuing comments on his own via Twitter:
Hello, Mr. McGregor.
