Floyd Mayweather Sr. recently spoke with EsNews about the rumors regarding his son, legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. possibly competing in a boxing match against UFC mega-star and reigning 145-pound champion “The Notorious” Conor McGregor.
While UFC President Dana White quickly shot down the rumor, which first emanated from The Sun out of the U.K., Mayweather Sr. said he remembers his son telling him about possibly coming out of retirement to box “some kind of MMA fighter.”
“He had told me the other day that he’s going to take another fight,” said Mayweather Sr. in the interview, which you can watch above. “He told me it’s [going to be against] some kind of MMA fighter.”
Regarding the rumored boxing match, which appears to be nothing more than a wild, unfounded rumor, Mayweather Sr. obviously seemed confident in his sons chances against the Irish UFC star.
“We’d beat the hell out of that man,” said Mayweather Sr. “My son can whoop him. He’s dead.”
