McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, takes on ‘Money’ Mayweather in a multi-million-pound boxing match on August 26.
The most talked about fight on the planet, which has divided opinion amongst many boxing fans, takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Twenty-nine-year-old McGregor, the first fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously, will take on the most elusive boxer of all time having never set foot inside the squared circle.
McGregor’s lack of pro boxing experience has led many to write off his chances of coming out of ‘The Billion Dollar Fight’ victorious.
In preparation for The Notorious’ encounter with 40-year-old Mayweather, Team McGregor have enlisted the help of several professional boxers, including former WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi.
And according to Roddy, McGregor is in fine form going into the biggest fight of his life.
“Conor is killing it in sparring. He’s not getting touched, you know what I mean?” Roddy told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
“He can do as many rounds as we want because he’s doing so well.”
“One thing I’ve noticed in camp is that week after week, he becomes twice the fighter he was. I’ve said this before, talking about MMA, that every fight, the ‘New Conor’ would smash the ‘Old Conor.’
“Well, that’s happening every week this camp. Knowing what he’s doing, and how much he’ll improve in the next four weeks, I’m excited for people to see it.”
