Tenshin Nasukawa will be Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s next challenger. 

The kickboxing star and undefeated boxing legend will step into the cage for the RIZIN promotion. It’s set to go down from the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan, on New Year’s Eve. Mayweather vs. Nasukawa will headline RIZIN 14. Speaking to media at his family’s Teppen gym in Northern Japan, Nasukawa spoke of his interactions with Mayweather.

Nasukawa sounds to be annoyed with “Money,” who he says he wants to kick (via ABS-CBN Sports):

“I can change the world with my fist,” Nasukawa said. “I sensed no aura about him. He says such provocative stuff I feel like kicking him. He is the best so I can’t let my guard down.

“I’m sure his punches are fast but I’m sure I can see them. I feel excited, although some days I still feel afraid. But when the day comes, I want to fight with confidence.”

Nasukawa and Mayweather will compete in a three-round exhibition bout that will not count on their combat sports records. Also, Nasukawa will not be able to use, arguably, his greatest weapon – his kicks. Instead, they’ll fight in a bout with only punches being allowed.

Perhaps Nasukawa could be the one to finally best Mayweather inside the ring. Whether he does or not, however, it won’t count on either man’s overall record.

The boxing heavyweight division looks to be in its best spot in quite some time.

WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua currently sits atop the division. He’s followed closely behind by WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. And of course, lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is still at the top. Recently, Wilder and Fury shared the ring inside Los Angeles’ Staples Center for the WBC crown.

Both men went all 12 rounds in a highly controversial contest. While most believed Fury got the better of Wilder technically, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the fight. The latter knockdown came in the 12th round, and very well could’ve been ruled a knockout. However, Fury miraculously got to his feet and was able to finish the contest. In the end, the judges ruled the fight a split decision draw.

Now, talk of a rematch next year is what many are expecting. But Joshua would like to get in on the mix after seeing all the hype Wilder vs. Fury was able to generate. Recently, Joshua spoke to The Sun UK and was asked for his thoughts on the match-up. In regards to Wilder’s second knockdown in the fight, which many thought was a knockout, Joshua isn’t buying that the Englishman was unconcious.

Joshua’s View

He simply believes Fury got tired and needed a few seconds to recover:

“I think he was just tired – needed that five seconds to kind of gather himself and he got up and continued. He was tired. His body gave up but his spirit didn’t. When you’re out cold, your spirit’s not intact, your body’s not intact.

“I think he just went down, tired, five seconds, and then his spirit was like: ‘I’m still here’. Then he got up and continued to fight. That’s my opinion on it, because when you get hit flush, your spirit and body disconnect.

“You’re not with it. But his spirit was still in intact it rose him up and he realised: ‘Hang on, I’m still fighting.’”

Tyson Fury may not have beaten Deontay Wilder, but he showed millions of people anything was possible with hard work and dedication.

Fury continues to speak out about his trials and tribulations he endured during his bout with mental illness.

“Many men would have stayed down after being knocked down by Deontay Wilder but I wanted to show the world that anything was possible,” Tyson Fury told the viewers at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards on Sunday night.

Fury, 30, lost a split draw against Wilder in their WBC heavyweight title fight earlier this month. Three years ago, Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko to become the world heavyweight champion. However, Fury fell into a deep depression that led to his abuse of drugs and alcohol.

He encouraged people going through tough times to keep fighting:

“No matter what you’ve been through in your life and no matter what you’re going through, you must always continue to get back up and keep going forward and fight back,” said Fury.

Fury also encouraged athletes to speak up on mental health issues because people are too often afraid to speak up:

“We need to spread the word on mental health more in sport because a lot of people are still living in darkness and are too afraid to come out and speak about it publicly.

“If I can do it – heavyweight champion, six foot nine, 18 stone, I’m supposed to be a big tough guy – anybody can do it.

“Anybody can get help, for sure.”
