Mayweather fight inevitable, will win this time: Conor McGregor

NEW YORK: Conor McGregor has said that a rematch with Floyd Mayweather is "inevitable" and that this time, he will win the match.

McGregor was responding to the praise he got from boxing great Mike Tyson for his performance in his fight against Mayweather in 2017.

"It's a spectacle, but listen, this is where it's not a spectacle," Tyson said on the podcast, 'Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson'. "He never really had a boxing match in his life, right? He went 10 rounds with the greatest fighter of the last 100 years of boxing... He went 10 rounds, scored punches on the greatest fighter in the last 100 years. Did he accomplish something? ... Look at what he had to fight against and look what he did when he fought against him."

McGregor later in a tweet thanked Tyson and said that he will beat Mayweather in their second bout. "Thank you Mike, and just know that for the inevitable rematch, with the knowledge I now hold of Floyd's style, plus under the tutelage of my old school boxing coach, I will crack the puzzle, and I will beat Floyd. I promise my life on it. It is great to see you back Iron Mike." IANS
