Fight promoter Dana White says he has an agreement with mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor for a proposed megafight, but boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather remains unsigned, AFP reports.
White told American television cable channel TNT on Wednesday night (US time) that McGregor has agreed to a boxing match and not a martial arts fight which heavily favours Mayweather, who has never lost in his two-decades long storied career.
White said they still have a long way to go. But his plan now is to try to lure Mayweather out retirement for a superfight with McGregor.
"The McGregor side is done," Ultimate Fighting Champion president White said. "I'm not saying the fight will happen but I got one side done and it's time to work on the other (Mayweather).
"If we can come to a deal with (Al) Haymon and (Floyd) Mayweather, the fight's going to happen."
