TIL Desk Sports/ The much awaited battle between UFC star Conor McGregor and the former five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is all set for 26 August.
Both fighters took to social media to confirm the development, as Mayweather posted to Instagram saying “It’s official!” while McGregor said “THE FIGHT IS ON,” on Twitter.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission approved a request from Mayweather Promotions to host a fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on 26 August. ESPN and Yahoo Sports later reported that the two parties had agreed on the date.
While the August date has been set, the terms for the event have not been confirmed. When the two champions meet it will be a boxing rather than mixed martial arts match-up.
