Mayweather claims he will return to fight Pacquiao
On tour in Japan, Floyd Mayweather Jr has dramatically claimed he will meet Manny Pacquiao in a rematch as early as this year.
Update:
Floyd Mayweather Jr has sensationally claimed he is coming out of retirement and returning to the ring to fight old rival Manny Pacquiao this year.
After coming face-to-face with Pacquiao during his tour of Japan, Mayweather released a video on Instagram accompanied by the message: "I'm coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year, another nine-figure pay day on the way!"
The American, 41, can be heard shouting in the video: "I'm coming back in December!"
Mayweather is unbeaten in 50 career contests, having stopped UFC star Conor McGregor in a lucrative Las Vegas bout last August.
Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in May 2015 in a long-awaited bout between the pair.
