Money, 41, boasts an unblemished 50-0 record during his distinguished career, which includes last year's Las Vegas win over UFC star Conor McGregor in the ring.
However, reports now claim his career tally will remain at 50-0 regardless of what happens against the Japanese kickboxer on December 31.
Nasukawa is 27-0, including 20 KOs, during his career – as well as going 4-0 in MMA, including two KOs and one submission – proving he will be a tough opponent.
Now, sources have told Boxing Scene the fight will be strictly boxing – not kickboxing – and almost certainly an exhibition as short as three rounds.
The nature of the fight now means it is unlikely to be a major pay-per-view event, as Mayweather is accustomed to.
In fact, it's thought Mayweather's clash with Nasukawa – 21 years his junior – will not even be the main event in any US broadcast.
Meanwhile, McGregor took to Instagram to share a foul-mouthed post in reaction to the news, days after enjoying Mike Tyson's home-grown marijuana in Dublin.
Notorious wrote: “Is that a tracksuit or a sauna suit Floyd. Is it hot in Tokyo or what’s the story here? that climate change is no joke f*** me.
“What in the f*** is going on here? Who’s this little p**** next to you ? That’s mad s***. Like something out of rush hour 5 or something.
“Chris tucker and Jackie f****** Chan back in this bitch. F****** brilliant. Mad little b****** you are Floyd. Fair f**** to you mate. No lie. F*** it.”
Elsewhere, a video surfaced yesterday of Nasukawa deep in training, attacking a pad with real venom.
However, as the clip goes on the 20-year-old Japanese star appears to tire and nearly collapses in the shocking scenes.
