Khabib Nurmagomedov of Russia, who holds the UFC lightweight belt said he hopes to have two fights with the undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather. One fight should go according to the rules of boxing, and the other - according to the rules of MMA. However, this is the dreams of Nurmagomedov, while Mayweather has repeatedly said that he is not going to fight by the rules of mixed martial arts.
“If we conclude an agreement with Mayweather, the fans will be satisfied. The first match is in the ring and the other one is in the cage. I want to try myself in boxing one day. That would be fair,” said Nurmagomedov.
In mid-October, Nurmagomedov offered Mayweather a fight, after which the American called on TV channels to prepare money to buy the rights to broadcast the fight. Later, the father and coach of the Russian athlete Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov said that the battle of his son with Floyd "should be held in Russia." While Mayweather says that such an event is possible only in Las Vegas.
Mayweather and Nurmagomedov did not suffer a single defeat in their sports. In 2017, an American defeated Conor McGregor, another UFC representative, in a boxing fight.
