Floyd Mayweather has revealed that he would “absolutely” be up for a rematch with UFC legend Conor McGregor, report Sky Sports.
Mayweather, who is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters to have ever lived, boasts an extraordinary 50-0 record, with his milestone victory being a TKO win over McGregor.
The pair have exchanged words frequently in the three-and-a-half-year aftermath of the fight, but there has never been any concrete suggestion that there was appetite for a rematch.
