Is Floyd Mayweather’s perfect record at risk?

Mayweather took retirement from boxing when he fought UFC icon Conor McGregor in 2017. The fight is regarded as one of the most lucrative fights in the history of combat sports. Eventually, the American boxer outclassed the Irishman and ended his professional record with a perfect 50-0.
