Just In: Floyd Mayweather defeats Japan’s Nasukawa by technical knock-out

Floyd Mayweather beat Japanese kickboxing phenomenon Tenshin Nasukawa by a technical knock-out on Monday in the first round of a New Year’s Eve “exhibition” bout that brought the US boxing superstar out of retirement.

Mayweather floored Nasukawa, a kickboxer less than half his age, three times in the first round of the three-round contest before the Japanese fighter’s trainer rushed in to stop the fight.
