Khabib’s manager claims Mayweather has been texting him ‘begging’ for fight with UFC star
The boxing hall of fame legend was called out by the UFC star after his win against Conor McGregor last year
FLOYD MAYWEATHER is begging a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov, according to the UFC star’s manager.
Ali Abdelaziz claims Mayweather is desperate to get it on with the reigning undisputed Lightweight champ in a potential money-spinning bout.
The blockbuster clash has been talked about for months ever since the Russian called out the 41-year-old retired boxer after his win against Conor McGregor last year.
Abdelaziz told : “Me and him (Mayweather) have been texting each other for the last month.
"He's very much begging for the fight.
"If he say he did not (call and text me), I'm going to put everything online. Don't lie, Floyd! Do not lie, Floyd!
"At the end of the day, if he want it, the fight is here. I like this fight.

“But, he has to come a little bit better. He knows what I'm talking about."
As well as Mayweather, Nurmagomedov has also conquered McGregor.
The Russian beat the “Notorious” by fourth-round submission at UFC 229 in October.
And Abdelaziz insists his man would come out on top if Mayweather fancied getting it on.
He added: "I think Khabib will beat his ass!!!"
