FLOYD MAYWEATHER is making his return to the ring in another money-spinning bout, this time against Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura.
He faces Asakura over three rounds at the Saitama Super Arena, again promoted by RIZIN.
The boxing legend officially hung up his gloves as a professional in 2017 after beating UFC legend Conor McGregor, 34, in a farewell fight.
Wrapped and ready

This will be the American's fourth since retiring professionally in 2017 after beating Conor McGregor.
He faces Mikuru Asakura next over three rounds in Japan.
Sad to see
Floyd Mayweather's bodyguard was beaten on the boxing legend's undercard by an opponent FIVE STONE lighter.
Security man Ray "Jizzy Mack" Sadeghi faced Koji "Kouzi" Tanaka in an open-weight stand-up bout.
That is despite Sadeghi usually weighing over 14 stone, while Kouzi campaigns at 9st 9lb, meaning he is giving away almost FIVE STONE.
Although, Tanaka amazingly KOd Sadeghi in round three with an excellent left hook.
Con job
Tonight will be Floyd Mayweather's fourth exhibition since retiring professionally in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor.
Mayweather has faced featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
But he could return for the first time to defend his historic 50-0 record amid talks for a rematch with McGregor.
He said: "Yes, it came to my attention. They talked about it being in Vegas, at the Allegiant Stadium.
"They talked about it being at the Allegiant Stadium. But if I'm not mistaken, Conor still has a problems with his leg.
"If it's going to happen, it's going to happen in 2023, not 2022.
"So this year I got an exhibition this Saturday, which will be in the US and once again it's Sunday in Japan.
"Then after that in November I've got another exhibition in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena.
"And then hopefully me and Conor McGregor can lock up again in 2023, in a real fight actually."
Dej serious
Floyd Mayweather CONFIRMED he will fight YouTuber Deji in a shock exhibition bout in Dubai - before eyeing a rematch with Conor McGregor
The boxing legend has spoken out for the first time since it emerged he was in talks with Deji, brother of social media sensation KSI.
Now, Mayweather has revealed he WILL face Deji in the Middle East, set for November 13 after returning tonight.
He told TMZ Sports: "This Saturday - which in Japan - will be Sunday, I have an exhibition against a helluva fighter from Japan.
"I think he's big in UFC and big on YouTube, so in the US, that will be Saturday but Japan it will be Sunday.
"And then I got one with the guy Deji - I want to make sure that his name is right - Deji, right?
"Yes, Deji. We will be doing an exhibition in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena and that is in November."
Taking the Mik
Mikuru Asakura is the MMA and YouTube star selected as Floyd Mayweather's next exhibition opponent.
The southpaw has 16 wins, three losses and one no-contest in MMA.
He has two victories on the spin, most recently in December against Yutaka Saito, 34, who was the first man to ever beat Asakura in RIZIN.
But away from the ring, he is a popular YouTuber, with almost 3 MILLION subscribers.
Asakura mixes training videos with daily vlogs and even pranks and unsurprisingly has documented the lead up to his fight with Mayweather.
Like the boxing icon, Asakura also has a love for cars, posing alongside a Bentley and Mercedes on his Instagram.
The former MMA champion is joined in the sport by his younger brother Kai, 28, arguably the bigger name in the Far East.
Kai even posed with Mayweather and RIZIN president Nobuyuki Sakakibara in May, fuelling rumours of a future fight.
But it is brother Mikuru who faces the self-proclaimed Best Ever, and vows to pull of the upset.
Go with the Flo
Floyd Mayweather has lived up to his "Money" nickname even into retirement.
The boxing legend officially hung up his gloves as a professional in 2017 after beating UFC legend Conor McGregor, 34, in a farewell fight.
However, it's turned out that that money-spinning night in Las Vegas was not the final time fans got to see Mayweather, 45, in the ring.
And they will not have to wait long to see another boxing cameo from the American, who faces MMA star Mikuru Asakura, 30, tonight.
He faces Asakura over three rounds at the Saitama Super Arena, again promoted by RIZIN.
