The 45-year-old Mayweather told reporters he is in good condition for the clash with 30-year-old Asakura. Asakura is a mixed martial artist specialist who is making his boxing debut at the Saitama Super Arena north of Tokyo. There are no weight restrictions for the bout. Mayweather says, “It’s all about having fun.” He has a perfect 50-0 record.
