Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has accepted UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov's challenge to fight.
"We're fighting," Mayweather told TMZ Sports. "I'm my own boss. I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end, but on my end we can make it happen."
Money May added that the fight would definitely take place in a boxing ring.
"Who's the 'A-side?' He called me out so you have to come to my world," Mayweather said. "I seen in an interview, he said when he hit Conor McGregor, he knocked Conor McGregor down. He said I didn't knock Conor McGregor down. OK, Khabib. You got my leftovers. Whoop-dee-do."
According to Mayweather, 41, a fight against Nurmagomedov, 30, would produce a higher paycheck than the one he received to box McGregor last year. Mayweather won that fight by TKO in the 10th round.
"When I face Khabib, I'm getting a nine-figure payday," Mayweather said. "Yes, more than the McGregor fight. Probably $100 million more, guaranteed. It could be somewhere upwards of $110 to $200 million guaranteed."
Both fighters are undefeated.
Nurmagomedov is 27-0 in MMA. Mayweather sports a boxing record of 50-0.
