"He's going to do a job on his side and we are going to do a job on my side and hopefully all the fans in the UK come over and support me.

"I don't know (when it will be), I need to communicate with my team, the fight hasn't been made yet, but it is all about entertainment so hopefully we can make it happen."

The former five-weight division champion has been linked with a bout with McGregor since last year.

It is believed the fight would break records, with fans of both boxing and UFC lured into buying the box office brawl.

McGregor, who is nicknamed the Notorious, recently said Mayweather was "scared" to step in the ring with him.

The pair have been in a bitter war of words ever since, and now they look set to settle their differences inside the ring.

Irish boxing legend Steve Collins has offered to coach the UFC star to show him how to win what is likely to be a boxing fight rather than an MMA clash.
