Floyd Mayweather on Khabib’s UFC 229 brawl: You must conduct yourself like a professional

Multiple time boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather has said he is serious about a potential boxing match with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, and he also criticized Khabib’s actions after his fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 229.

Talks of a fight between Mayweather and Nurmagomedov began earlier this week, when Nurmagomedov issued a challenge to Mayweather in a video posted on Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe’s Instagram account. The two have since exchanged a few comments since then, but speaking recently to TMZ, Mayweather showed he is not joking around about a fight with Khabib.
