UFC star Conor McGregor has once again hinted at an imminent return to the boxing ring against old foe Floyd Mayweather after the Irishman tweeted that he was “excited” about a sequel fight with the undefeated legend.
McGregor was defeated by 10th round TKO in his August 2017 professional boxing debut against Mayweather in a contest dubbed “The Money Fight”, but he has repeatedly claimed since that a second bout between the two would have a far different outcome.
Despite being counted out by analysts prior to the fight, boxing novice McGregor impressed many observers in the opening rounds of the fight – outscoring the then 49-0 multiple-weight world champion early, before Mayweather asserted his authority in the later rounds. (Text, photo by RT)
