梅威瑟、达纳·怀特和里津首席执行官的照片引发猜测
周三凌晨，UFC主席达纳·怀特在社交媒体上发布了一张自己、弗洛伊德·梅威瑟以及第三位重要人物的照片，引发了粉丝们的猜测。
加入梅威瑟和怀特在图像是Rizin的首席执行官Nobuyuki Sakakibara。2018年，里津帮助上演了50比0的拳击手和自由搏击选手天shin Nasukawa之间臭名昭著的表演，这位美国人轻松获胜。

《华盛顿邮报》引发了许多人的猜测，是否会有一个涉及这三个人的重大宣布即将到来，这反过来又让一些人怀疑，梅威瑟和YouTube名人洛根·保罗的对决——原本定于今年早些时候进行，但被推迟了——现在是否会发生。
一些人怀疑，44岁的梅威瑟是否会再次复出，参加一场正式的拳击赛。
梅威瑟和怀特在2019年底举行了会晤，讨论了合作的可能性，即只让COVID-19大流行搁置任何计划。
怀特去年告诉ESPN:“在我们讨论一起做一些事情之后，(由于COVID-19)世界崩溃了。”
然而，随着人们逐渐开始回归拳击和综合格斗赛事，这些讨论似乎又重新活跃起来。
UFC President Dana White triggered a wave of fan speculation in the early hours of Wednesday morning when he posted a photo of himself, Floyd Mayweather and a third important individual to social media.
Joining Mayweather and White in the image is Rizin CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara. Rizin helped stage the infamous exhibition between the 50-0 boxer and kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018, which the American won with ease.

The post led many to wonder if a big announcement involving all three is forthcoming, which in turn made some wonder if Mayweather vs. YouTube celebrity Logan Paul — originally set for earlier this year only to be postponed — will happen at all now.
And some wondered whether Mayweather, 44, will come out of retirement yet again for a sanctioned fight.
Mayweather and White met in late 2019 to discuss the possibility of working together only for the COVID-19 pandemic to shelve any plans.
“The world imploded [as a result of COVID-19] after we were talking about doing some things together,” White told ESPN last year.
However, with crowds slowly beginning to return to both boxing and MMA events, those discussions look to have been revived. |
