Breaking news!!! Mayweather is back - next fight announced: New Year's Eve in Japan against a 20 year old kick boxer nobody has heard of. 

Mayweather says this is to 'broaden his global appeal'. In reality it's an easy night's work as RIZIN (the kick boxing company) is well known to fix fights.

Can only assume this is the start of some half a$$ed comeback before he targets UFC stars again? Or maybe he's in financial difficulty - he does like spending it.

Only good news is, with a late fight in Japan, it will be like 10AM UK time - great way to start the New Year's Eve sesh by watching this non-sense!

Wish he and the Irish idiot would disappear off the face of the earth.

Apparently Mayweather has a few money issues. He's got lots of money, but also likes spending it at an unsustainable rate. Add to that a gambling habit.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's broke within 10 years and he'll be too old to fight by then.

Would beating Usyk be the best display by any British boxer since Honeyghan destroyed Curry? 

Benn beating McClellan and Ricky Hatton humbling Kosta Tszyu were superior wins than Honeyghan's and Calzhage's over Lacy for me mate, even though both fights were in the UK

McClellan and Tszyu were at the absolute top of their game for those fights and were out gutted and beaten, whereas- fantastic wins though both were- Curry overlooked Honeyghan and had weight issues and Lacy turned out to be a bit overhyped and hadn't been near a fighter of Joe's calibre.

Tszyu was the undisputed lineal super lightweight champ and had beaten Zab Judah, Roger Mayweather and Julio Ceaser Chavez and McClellan was a 2 time champion who had terrorised the division and knocked out 8 of his previous 10 opponents in the first round- including 3 defences of the WBC super middleweight belt that finished in r1.

If Bellew somehow pulls this off, that's the sort of achievement we're talking about imo, because Usyk is very very good!  I agree @Tomarse, Bellew has got to pull off a left hook from hell to stop Usyk boxing his ears off!

Hahahahahaha mocked into pulling out the shameless ******.

This is hilarious, if true. Mayweather doesn't come out of this looking good.

That said, friendly with a lad in work who's really into the 'fringe' combat sports like kickboxing, Muay Thai etc. He says this RIZIN company, previously called Pride, is known for such things and very last minute changes and dodgy deals/bribes, so there 'could be' genuine truth to this.

There's some crackers there mate, looked at Tszyu's record and he fought Livingston Bramble near the start of his career the same Bramble who boxed boom boom Mancini...

Anyone know any places showing this tomorrow? I know All Stars is but apparently can get a bit busy so looking for any other options

Walkabout, Greenhouse and the White Harte in town according to this site:

https://www.matchpint.co.uk/bars-showing-oleksandr-usyk-vs-tony-bellew-333111

It's probably worth calling to check though.

Just watched the weigh in, fair play to Bellew he is in seriously good shape.

12/1 to win by a decision , got to be worth a quid or two!
