talkSPORT boxing editor Michael Benson tweeted:
"Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring for a fight at Tokyo Dome on Feb 28th.
"Details scarce, but Floyd called into a presser to announce he would compete on same show as new MMA event 'MEGA 2021'."
The Money Man was set to make a return in 2020 in Asia by Sunsport but the coronavirus crisis slowed down the process of bringing the fighter back into the ring.
However, Mayweather announced to his 24 million followers on Instagram in the past week that his next fight will be holding in Tokyo.
"Tokyo, Japan. I am coming back in 2021.
"I know the Olympics is in Japan in 2021 but me, and my team will be doing something big in Tokyo Dome.
"Trust line, I want to say thank you for treating me good and treating my team good. Japan, I am on my way."
The defensive boxer has a 50-0 professional record following his victory over UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017.
He also outclassed kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition on New Year's Eve in Tokyo in 2018.
