But the fight has not stopped the multimillionaire boxer from enjoying time away at plush hotels.

His trainer Gerald Tucker released a video of the pair hitting pads in the early hours of the morning at the five-star resort they were staying at.

Tucker posted: “Who else but @floydmayweather is allowed to train in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Hawaii(Maui) at 2am??.. type hotel in which rooms start at $1,000 a night… crazy..”

Mayweather, 45, has boxed in three exhibitions since retiring in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34.

They came against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 23, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.

And he has even teased returning to put his historic 50-0 record on the line amid rumours of a rematch with McGregor.

But for now, the Hall of Famer goes back to Japan – where he beat Nasukawa in one round – to face Asakura.

The bout is only set for three rounds, promoted by RIZIN, and Mayweather is not in the mood to exert himself too much.

He said: “We don’t train as much when we were competing.

“When we were competing we were competing against the biggest and best in the sport of boxing.

“So now we doing a little — we may train a few days and let the body rest a few days, train a few days, rest a few days.

“We don’t really train too much. We just travel and enjoy life. As far as boxing and competing at the highest level I did it for so long.

“When it’s time to go out there and do what I gotta do, I got that on lock.”
