Floyd Mayweather calls out UFC superstar Conor McGregor once again in training

Amid the growing uncertainty regarding the future of sports courtesy of the coronavirus pandemic, undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather is still training hard during the lockdown. Floyd Mayweather was initially scheduled to make his return in UFC this year and was reportedly set to feature in two blockbuster events. However, the coronavirus outbreak has seemingly laid waste to his plans and it is unlikely that the undefeated American will step inside the cage this year. However, that did not stop Floyd Mayweather from calling out his former rival Conor McGregor. While training in his gym, Floyd Mayweather took a verbal dig at Conor McGregor, giving fight fans some hope that they could witness the two superstars go at it again.
