Mayweather Fight Is On According To McGregor’s Coach

James Fenton

It seems like every week we hear from some source or another that the much anticipated bout between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is on. 

This time, however, the source is pretty reputable. McGregor’s coach and close confidante John Kavanagh has been speaking in Australia and said that The Notorious is training as if the contract has been signed.

“Let the people in the suits worry about the paperwork, we’re training for it.”

So there you have it. Over to you, Floyd.
