Conor McGregor will not accept defeat against Floyd Mayweather! The duo created history when ‘The Notorious’ decided to put on his boxing gloves and fight Mayweather in one of the biggest fights in the history of combat sports. However, the outcome didn’t turn out to be in McGregor’s favor. But he still believes he can beat the undefeated boxing legend in a rematch.

‘The Notorious’ recently spoke to a media outlet in the streets of Beverly Hills. He talked about his only professional boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather and firmly believes that, given another chance, he will be able to defeat ‘Money’ Mayweather. McGregor said, “Sure [on the possibility of beating Mayweather].”

McGregor also stated that he had a lot of time to reflect on his boxing skills and analyze his previous fight to see what went wrong. “For sure, I have been thinking about it for a long time and I have had a long time to think about it and analyze it.” 

His comments come as Mayweather prepares to fight the former New York crime family boss’ grandson, John Gotti III, in June, who even sent a warning to the undefeated boxer. He threatened Mayweather saying, “You signed to fight me; there’s no quarter. It’s kill or be killed.” While this boxing match has the potential to be huge, ‘Mystic Mac’ intends to make a return. Both Floyd and Conor have shown interest in running it again against each other.

The Irishman is not disappointed with his 2017 performance against Floyd Mayweather. He said, “[I am] happy how it went down the last time.” Moreover, he is keen on starting training again. He might be planning to get back with his old trainers. “I’d for sure love to go back to my old boxing coaches with whom I reunited post-fight. I feel my style has developed,” said the former UFC double champion.

Considering that the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor had over $5 million in pay-per-view buys, a rematch would only do bigger numbers. The press conferences were also one of the biggest highlights of their rivalry.
