According to the latest reports, Floyd Mayweather‘s upcoming contest against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa is likely to be an exhibition.

It was originally thought that the contest would include ‘hybrid rules’ but that doesn’t seem to be the case, instead it is more likely to be fought under the boxing books and could also be as short as three rounds, effectively making it an exhibition bout which wouldn’t count towards the unblemished 50-0 resume of the legendary figure.

Floyd Mayweather vs Tenshin Nasukawa is set to take place at the Saitama Super Arena just outside Tokyo on December 31.
