Floyd Mayweather Accepts Challenge From Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib Nurmagomedov will have to get into training for a fight with Floyd Mayweather as the retired boxer has accepted to his challenge.
The UFC Champion openly called for a fight with Mayweather in a video clip posing with the boxer's promotion CEO Leonard Ellerbe, taunting him that he dropped easily Conor McGregor who he couldn't knock-out.
The 41-year-old responded to the Russian's challenge in a caption to a picture update to Instagram that reads as "let's make Vegas great again."
Not only did he want to make Vegas great again, he also want all the media outlets to get ready for a big fight between him and Khabib saying, "CBS, Showtime and MGM Grand get the checkbook out."
Khabib, just coming off the biggest UFC 229 fight in recent times which was the weekend fight with Conor McGregor, seemed pretty sure to do damage to Mayweather's record, and he did say that in the clip as he said, "Let's go Floyd, we have to fight now, 51-0 vs 27-0, two guys who have never lost."
"Because im the jungle there is only ome king. Of course i am the king because he cannot drop McGregor but i dropped him easily."
All that sound really good, but there is an issue with Khabib that might impede the possibilities of staging a fight between them, and that was the Nevada State Athletics Commission's ban which was served to him for hopping off the Octagon onto the crowd to fight a member of McGregor's team.
