Former multiple world champion Floyd Mayweather has agreed a deal for a boxing match against mixed martial artist Conor McGregor in Las Vegas on August 26.
Mayweather confirmed the bout – which will take place under normal boxing rules despite McGregor having never boxed either amateur or professionally – on his official Twitter feed.
The 40-year-old Mayweather announced his retirement after winning his 49th straight bout against Andre Berto also in Las Vegas in September 2015.
