Will Conor McGregor box again?

Following his retirement, he made claims as to how MMA is something that does not hold his attention anymore. Therefore, it may come as no surprise that his prodigious return may not be to the octagon.

A scrap against the boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather Jr., saw him lace up a pair of the classic 10-oz gloves. ‘The Money Fight’ took place at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, exactly three years ago.

It was touted as ‘The biggest fight in combat sports history’ and rightly so. It lived up to the hype as Conor lost the battle after having endured 10 grueling rounds against one of the greatest boxers the world has ever seen.

He Tweeted, “tinatanggap ko”, which is the Filipino for “I accept”. True to his nature, he refrained from revealing too many hints. However, one needn’t smoke a pipe and sport a deerstalker in order to figure this one out.

The Notorious will not fight any opponent that is smaller than the legacy that he has built for himself. Only the greatest of the names in the Top 5 or Top 10 of the fighting industry count.

Considering the fact that he chose to write in Filipino among a thousand other languages, the trail leads us fans right to the doorstep of the one and only Manny Pacquiao!

Floyd Mayweather, Errol Spence, Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Terence Crawford, and now Conor McGregor are some big names that he might be interested to take on.

Manny Pacquiao, weighing 145lbs against Conor McGregor’s 155 lbs is not a problem given that they first decide to fight each other. 

It is going to be a tremendous fight if it materializes successfully. Is The Notorious one preparing for the bout? Well, we have seen him dishing out some serious punishment to a boxing bag, so it’s a piece of powerful evidence.
