Conor McGregor boasts of "playing ping pong" with Floyd Mayweather's head in fight

Conor McGregor is confident he would beat Floyd Mayweather with "some real nice adjustments" in a potential rematch.

McGregor, 34, was stopped by former five-weight world champion Mayweather in his boxing debut when the pair met in an illustrious crossover fight in 2017. 'Notorious' had some success in the early rounds of the fight, but he was outclassed by Mayweather as the fight went on and was ultimately stopped in the 10th round.

The Irishman has now boldly claimed he could get the "job finished" if he fought Mayweather again, tweeting: "Round 9. I was playing ping pong with this guys head in there at many times in this fight. If you don’t think there is some real nice adjustments that can be made and implemented in a second fight, to get the job finished, you’re silly."
