Floyd Mayweather has detailed plans for his next couple of boxing bouts beyond this weekend, including an exhibition appearance in Dubai and then a rematch with Conor McGregor next year.
The former five-weight world champion, who is preparing for Saturday’s exhibition boxing clash with Japanese MMA star Mikura Asakura in Saitama, said discussions have taken place regarding another match-up with McGregor – be it an exhibition or a “real fight”.
The pair fought in August 2017 in one of the most lucrative pay-per-view bouts in combat sports history. Mayweather defeated McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, by TKO in Round 10 in Las Vegas.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Mayweather said: “I want to go out there this weekend and have fun. Then I have another exhibition in Dubai in November and me and Conor McGregor in 2023. “We don’t know if it’s going to be an exhibition or a real fight.
