Conor McGregor has put his MMA training on the back burner to prepare for his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather … TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke with McGregor’s rep who says The Notorious is “only training boxing” while working out in Dublin to focus on the super fight.
That’s right … the UFC lightweight (and former featherweight) champ ain’t practicing mixed martial arts.
Dana White announced last Thursday that McGregor’s side of the deal is complete … and the UFC star has been posting training pics directed at Floyd on Instagram ever since.
While the fight still isn’t a done deal, Floyd has remained optimistic, telling reporters over the weekend that if he un-retires for a fight, “it’s a 90% chance it’s against Conor McGregor.”
