Floyd Mayweather Jr. will come out of retirement to meet UFC star Conor McGregor in a much-anticipated boxing match that will feature two of the top-selling fighters in the world.
The two fighters both announced the fight after months of speculation about whether Mayweather would be lured back to the ring at the age of 40 to face a mixed martial arts fighter who has never had a pro boxing fight.
Mayweather took to Twitter confirming the bout will take place in Las Vegas on 26 August, with the message: “It’s official.”
The former five-weight world champion and widely considered the best boxer of his generation, retired unbeaten in 2015 after 49 bouts.
