Mayweather vs McGregor: The wait is nearly over!

Mayweather vs McGregor is almost here.

After several weeks and months of negotiating, trash talking, posturing, training and more, we're less than a week away from the main event itself.

On Sunday the once‑retired all‑time great boxer Mayweather will take on UFC's biggest star McGregor in Las Vegas with thousands watching at the T‑Mobile arena and millions more watching around the world.

After all the speculation about whether we would have the fight, the last few months have seen much name‑calling and animosity on both sides, as the rivalry intensifies ahead of the big day.

Mayweather retired in 2015 with an unblemished 49‑0 professional boxing record.

He is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters ever, and prides himself on his ability to evade punishment with his skillful movement about the ring while making adjustments against opponents on the fly.

McGregor, the UFC's reigning lightweight champion and former featherweight champion, is known for his devastating striking and highlight‑reel knockouts.

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor’s entourages have also been reminded of their behaviour ahead of the superfight in Las Vegas.

The Fight between Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor will be held on Sunday.
