The other day, UFC middleweight champion Tyrone Woodley said that in the near future he will start preparing legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather for performances in mixed martial arts. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Mayweather confirmed Woodley's words, and also evaluated his fighting skills.
"Soon I will start working with Tyrone. We have already talked with him several times and discussed all the points, in the very near future we will start training. We do not need to learn everything in a row, only small changes need to be made. It will take longer than three months. Even if we need six or eight months, we need to do the right job and be sure that we are at the right level.
"I can fight. My MMA skills are not so bad. If I give a rating on a 10-point scale, then I would get 7, but we can bring it to 9. If I talk about my boxing skills, then on a 10-point scale I have all 7. And as for kicks, I am 4. Nevertheless, we will soon work on this and bring it to a new level.
"Who will become my opponent? I do not know yet, I did not even begin to train. I need to discuss everything with my team and my father. Of course, the numbers should be right, but I will get it," Mayweather said.
