The Rizin 38 press conference took place on Saturday in Saitama, Japan, and featured a number of unexpected panelists, including Manny Pacquiao.
And headlining Rizin 38 are two fighters who are already well-known to Pacquiao:
One of Pacquiao’s students, Mikuru Asakura, is on the other end of the spectrum. On the other side is his adversary from the past, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
On Sunday, a special exhibition fight will take place between mixed martial arts fighter Asakura and boxer Mayweather, who has a perfect 50-0 record.
“I’m here to support my boxer who is going to fight tomorrow — Asakura Mikuru,” said Pacquiao in Rizin 38, who is the only boxing world champion in the history of the sport to win eight different weight classes. “I can’t express how appreciative I am that he traveled all the way to Manila in the Philippines to train with me and learn some boxing techniques.
