Like his mentor, Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta Davis could fight Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition in April, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“We got an exhibition bout with the guy Tenshin in Japan in April,” Mayweather said.
“I’m proud of Tank, and he’s gonna stay active,” Mayweather said. “April is Tenshin. May is the real fight.”
“We don’t know,” he said when asked who Davis would fight in his second defense. “When I get back, I’ll talk to my staff, my team, sit down with [Mayweather Promotions CEO] Leonard [Ellerbe], [adviser] Al [Haymon], the rest of my staff and see what we come up with.”
Mayweather said that he earned $9 million — plus a $1 million bonus — for the exhibition with Nasukawa and said he would likely participate in future exhibition fights.
“Probably so, most likely,” Mayweather said. “I got about $80 million on the table worth of exhibitions.”
