The five-division champion last appeared in the ring back in December 2018 in Japan where he figured in an exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa that lasted only one round.
Mayweather, who retired from boxing with a 50-0 record in 2017, reportedly earned $9 million for the event.
