In his return from a two-year retirement, Floyd Mayweather improved to 50-0 with a 10th-round defeat of Conor McGregor in their pay-per-view superfight at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas this morning.
The victory means Floyd Mayweather officially ends his career with an undefeated record of 50 fights and no loss and the world is celebrating his stellar career with glowing tributes, memes and several accolades.
Mayweather, 40, started cautiously as UFC lightweight champion McGregor, making his professional boxing debut, landed a first-round uppercut.
But McGregor, 29, looked to tire before the referee called time on the Irishman in Las Vegas.
It saw the former five-weight world champion extend his record to 50-0.
Mayweather said:
“HE IS A TOUGH COMPETITOR AND WE GAVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE.
“HE WAS A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. HE WAS A TOUGH COMPETITOR, BUT I WAS THE BETTER MAN.
“I GUARANTEED EVERYBODY THIS WOULD NOT GO THE DISTANCE. BOXING’S REPUTATION WAS ON THE LINE.”
The American , who came out of retirement to face McGregor, added: “This was my last fight, for sure. I chose the right dance partner. Conor McGregor, you are a hell of a champion.”
