Conor McGregor has added fuel further to fire up speculations this week. He took part of boxing sparring sessions, which fans suspect that a mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather could be on.
The UFC icon has been persistently linked with the king of boxing since overpowering Nate Diaz in a New York rematch, but an official arrangement between the two athletes is yet to collide with. But, with his Instagram post, McGregor has suggested he is gearing up for the clash by engaging into a high tempo boxing session at coach John Kavanagh's Straight Blast Gym.
McGregor Displays Boxing Skills
Posting his video online to his 10.4 million followers, McGregor can be seen in the ring engaging in full boxing session. There is no other explanation, the 'Notorious' simply captioned the video 'Boxing at SBG,' allowing fans to settle with as to whether this was just another drill for the mixed martial artist or possibly something more.
Just now, both parties have suggested the multi-million-dollar fight could happen, and it will very soon. The clash of the two supermen would undeniably shout out as one of the biggest events in boxing history and it might be also the highest grossing fight of all time.
A talk with Sky Sports, Mayweather persisted upbeat about facing the Irishman in the boxing ring. 'in due time, the fight will happen,' he told Sky Sports. 'I believe I can get my number... we've got to do a job on my side and with any luck, all the fans in the UK would come over to cheer for me.

'I have to consult with my team, the fight hasn't been decided yet but it is all about entertainment so confidently it can happen,' Mayweather added. Likewise, McGregor has also spoken openly about the potential fight, opening in a recent question and answer session with fans.'I'm going to go to Las Vegas, get my boxing license and they'll we see where the f*** Floyd's at,' said McGregor. 'I have my eyes on one thing and that's Floyd Mayweather. 'It's the fight I want. I've got the reach. I've got the youth. You can't prepare for a style like me, he added.
