Dana White laughs off any chances of Conor McGregor rematching Floyd Mayweather

Dana White doesn’t see the point of a rematch between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

But he is apparently ahead of schedule with all signs currently pointing towards a return to competition in the latter half of 2022.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “Boxing is my
