Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor is looking to face boxing phenom Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, the fighter wants to face the undefeated boxer on his home turf. He wants a fight in a boxing ring, not the octagon.
In a recent interview with ESPN, boxing legend Mike Tyson decided to voice his opinion on the matter. For Tyson, it doesn’t seem very logical for the UFC champion to face off in a boxing ring.
“If Mayweather boxes McGregor, it will be total garbage. But if Floyd goes to UFC … now that would be interesting. I want to see an MMA fighter fight a boxer, not an MMA fighter box a boxer.
“In a boxing ring, McGregor is outmatched by Mayweather — it won’t be fair. McGregor is a colourful guy, but I’d much prefer to see where he’s at in a match with UFC rules.” Mike Tyson explained.
A bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor is not yet official, but some believe the bout to only be a matter of time. Mayweather has already officially come out of retirement in anticipation of facing the UFC champion.
