I’m confident but I am gonna take it day by day and see how this leg goes up. One thing’s for sure, I will be able to box. I’ll be out here till mid-October anyway I think. Although I’ll know after this scan how long I’ll be here for,” McGregor added.

Alvarez most recently defeated British sensation Billy Joe Saunders via T/KO. A crushing uppercut from the Mexican superstar was enough to break Saunder’s orbital and the fight was stopped by the Brit’s corner. Alvarez will next face undefeated pugilist Caleb Plant.
