The Russian Boxing Federation is interested in conducting a possible battle between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Floyd Mayweather at Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, said the general secretary of the organization, Umar Kremlev.

On Sunday, Nurmagomedov called Mayweather out, and on Monday, an American on his Twitter page urged TV channels to prepare money to buy rights to broadcast this fight.

“If the fight will take place by the rules of boxing, then we are interested in staging it. We are ready for this if Khabib wants it. Khabib has a good boxing skills, he showed it in a fight with McGregor, where he was a head above. As for the place we would like to stage it at “Luzhniki,” Kremlev said.
