Conor McGregor opens door to Floyd Mayweather rematch despite previous denial

Conor McGregor has re-opened the door to a boxing sequel with Floyd Mayweather.

The UFC superstar made his debut in the squared circle in a huge fight with the boxing legend in 2017 which he lost by 10th-round stoppage. Reports emerged earlier this year that the pair were holding talks over a second meeting, with McGregor confirming his intentions to explore the fight on social media.

Mayweather later claimed a fight was close to completion just days after reports emerged the pair were just 'arguing' over the fight rules before an agreement is signed. However McGregor promptly shut down the news claiming that he was no longer interested and will instead make a UFC return.
