McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, takes on ‘Money’ Mayweather in a multi-million-pound boxing match a week on Saturday.
The most talked about fight on the planet, which has divided opinion in the combat sports world, 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, enters the biggest fight of his career with no professional boxing experience to his name.
The Irishman’s lack of pro-boxing experience has led many to believe he will suffer an embarassing defeat to 40-year-old Mayweather, who enters his fiftieth professional outing on the back of 23-month layoff.
Despite having never boxed professionally, Ireland’s first UFC belt holder is confident of shocking the world and becoming the first man to upset the Olympian, a claim he repeatedly made during his whirlwind press tour with the American.
And moments before his open workout in Las Vegas on Friday night, ‘The Notorious’ doubled down on his pledge to humble the elusive Mayweather.
“You know what I heard him say yesterday? Nothing. I saw a man scared… I saw a man trying to talk himself out of it.
“I’m preparing to win, and to win in devastating fashion.”
