But he marked his return by wiping out Nasukawa, 23, in one round of their mismatch.
Mayweather then faced YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, in June 2021 and gave away TWO STONE in the spectacle fight.
It went the full eight-round distance as Paul technically avoided defeat.

The fight was initially set to be held atop of a hotel HELIPAD in Dubai, 700ft above sea level, before it was scrapped ONE DAY beforehand.
It followed after the death of former UAE President Sheikh Khalifa, who passed away aged 73.
Mayweather would instead dominate Moore a week late in Abu Dhabi and confirmed he would fight again in the Middle East.
He said: “I will bring another fight back to the UAE this year.”
No opponent was announced and it remains uncertain if Mayweather will box in Japan or the Middle East first.
