American boxer Floyd Mayweather is set to fight UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

The match has scheduled on August 26 in a boxing match in Las Vegas.

UFC president Dana White, revealed that the fight will be at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be contested at 154 pounds.

It will be a standard, 12-round boxing match with 10-ounce gloves.

On Wednesday, Nevada Athletic Commission approved the request from Mayweather Promotions to put on a boxing card on August 26th at the MGM Grand.

It was gathered that the venue could change to T-Mobile, Yahoo Sports reported.

The bout will be distributed via Showtime pay-per-view and will be an entirely boxing card.

Mayweather Promotions will be the lead promoter.

Mayweather said that he was retired after compiling a 49-0 pro record from 1996 - 2015. But with a fight which could pay each man in excess of $100 million.

On the other hand, McGregor is one of the elite mixed martial arts fighters in the world, but he has never boxed before, either amateur or pro.

He won the UFC’s featherweight title in a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo on December 12, 2015
He m split a pair of non-title welterweight fights with Nate Diaz before knocking out Eddie Alvarez on November 12, 2016, in New York to win the lightweight belt.

He became the first fighter to hold two UFC championships simultaneously.

Earn in excess of $100million?
All those touts in Lagos wey go dey break bottle, dey fight mumu fight upandan see as their talent dey waste.




Mayweather better retire again before he ends his streak just like Undertaker's. But this one na win im go win. 50 - 0.

50-0

I think this fight will be to Mayweather's advantage. He is a complete boxer while McGregor is into mixed martial art. That means he can't explore all his potentials including using his legs. Mayweather is a smart businessman.
