Talks on the meeting of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) and  Khabib Nurmagomedov do not cease. The American would like to fight the Russian on the boxing rules. Nurmagomedov is ready to agree to this proposal, but on one condition.

"I'm not a boxer, so I propose an unusual rules. My father had already talked to Dana White about it. We can  fight for 12 rounds, but on the condition that there will be 11 rounds of boxing, and the last round is by the rules of MMA. I do not think he will knock me out, and I will destroy him in the latter," Nurmagomedov said.

Talks on Mayweather fighting Nurmagomedov go for a long time. The first attempts to organize this bout were made in Russia, where the stands for the fight will be able to gather 100 000 spectators. Businessmen from Saudi Arabia also made a proposal to the teams of the fighters.

Nurmagomedov has called the American out for the long time and said he wanted to fight him on boxing rules. In April the Russians will have to fight at UFC against Tony Ferguson. Mayweather did not participate in the official fights for more than two years now but has repeatedly stated on his desire to return.
