Conor McGregor makes HUGE Floyd Mayweather announcement
CONOR MCGREGOR has taken to Instagram to make a huge announcement regarding a rematch with Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor turned his hand to boxing to face the unbeaten Mayweather in the ring in August last year.
However, the Irishman was defeated by total knockout in the 10th round where he won the hearts of a nation with his spirited performance.
Both fighters earned millions from the showdown and there have been strong rumours of a potential rematch.
But McGregor has since taken to social media to reveal that talks were underway but his American opponent has now withdrawn and decided to continue with his retirement.
I understand completely him staying retired. I will now carry on in my negotiations and see where it goes.
“I am happy for Floyd and his recent announcement that he is out of these current fight negotiations,” McGregor wrote on Instagram.
“It is the reason I never seeked the rematch in the first place. I was happy for him in retirement.
“My game is a very unforgiving one. It is not like other games.
“I understand completely him staying retired. I will now carry on in my negotiations and see where it goes.
Conor McGregor appears to be holding ‘cigarette’
“Have a great retirement Junior.
“Now come here and give your old man a hug for old times sake. I'm proud of you son.”
McGregor is now considering all of his options before deciding whether to step back into a boxing ring, Octagon or perhaps call time on his combat career.
