With McGregor’s recent exchange of words with Jake Paul, the idea of his return to boxing gains further credibility. Amidst their online feud, McGregor seized the opportunity to refresh everyone’s memory about his legendary boxing bout against Money Mayweather.
“Don’t forget, I played ping pong with Floyd’s head. I carried him! B4, it was just ping pong, this time it’s ping pong and babe Ruth with a baseball bat. KO incoming.” Conor said.

The Irish UFC sensation has intensified the anticipation by revealing that, in a potential rematch against the undefeated boxing icon, he intends to employ his signature attacking approach, complemented by an even more potent array of power shots, to secure victory over Floyd.
McGregor openly declared intention for “inevitable rematch”
Despite his positive rapport with Mike Tyson, McGregor experienced a twist in their relationship when Tyson extended his support to Mayweather during their boxing match. Mike’s astonishment stemmed from the fact that McGregor, an MMA fighter, was entering the boxing realm to take on Floyd.
“Can the boxer beat the MMA guy? [McGregor] put his dumb ass in a position where he’s gonna get knocked out because this guy’s been doing this all his life since he was a baby. [McGregor] can’t kick and grab and stuff. He’s not going to stand much of a chance.” Mike said.
This unexpected turn caused Tyson to express his frustration, as he believed that combining MMA rules with boxing went against the essence of the sport. Ultimately, the outcome aligned with Mike Tyson’s prediction, with Floyd successfully delivering a knockout blow to the MMA superstar.
