Floyd Mayweather heats rumours of shock ring return after posting video training in gym following retirement

FLOYD MAYWEATHER was back in the boxing gym - and it sent the internet into a frenzy.

Despite publicly retiring after he stopped Conor McGregor in their billion-dollar fight in August, Mayweather continues to keep himself in top shape.

And after posting a video of him working the bag in the boxing gym, it led to speculation that he is in training a for a ring-return.

JJ Lawrence wrote on Twitter that "if the money was right, he'll fight anyone", while Lolo Mazuelos added that Mayweather versus Gennady Golovkin would be "the dream fight".

Others asked Mayweather "who's next", while a rematch against McGregor seemed to be the wish of many.

Mat Rasmussen posed the question that Mayweather will have the "rematch in the MMA", before asking "name one person who won't buy it".

But people shouldn't be getting their hopes up.

Speaking after his dramatic stoppage of McGregor that took him to 50-0, Mayweather said: "This was my last fight tonight ladies and gentlemen.

"Tonight I chose the right partner to dance with. Conor McGregor is a great champion, and Ireland we love you.

"I told you the fight would be blood, sweat and tears and that's what I gave you.

"I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see.

"I owed them for the (Manny) Pacquiao fight. I had to come straight ahead and give the fans a show. That's what ​I​ gave them."
