For the last year, combat sports headlines have been dominated by talk of a potential super-fight between all-time boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. And while nothing substantive has happened towards making the fight a reality, things may have just gotten a little more interesting.
At a stop during his recent United Kingdom tour, Mayweather announced that he is officially out of retirement from the sport of boxing in order to pursue a fight with McGregor, telling the UFC champ to fight him in June.
“When I faced Arturo Gatti, I went to his turf,” Mayweather said (via FightHype).
