FLOYD MAYWEATHER showed he is still in terrific shape aged 43 – more than three years since his boxing battle against Conor McGregor.
The American fighter, who boasts a perfect 50-0 record, posted a shirtless picture to Instagram proving he remains in tip-top shape.
Mayweather’s snap comes three years after he beat recently-retired UFC icon McGregor in a crossover boxing match.
Mayweather eased to victory with a 10th round KO in the box office smash hit.
And a rumoured money-spinning rematch has long been on the cards for the global superstars.
Indeed, McGregor fuelled speculation further by goading Mayweather online to mark the third anniversary of their spellbinding bout.
The Irishman wrote: “Three years ago today I carried Floyd for his final boxing match.
“Wow time flies when you’re stacking cheddar. Happy retirement champ.”
Mayweather revealed he was keen for another fight after McGregor stepped back from the UFC in June, saying: “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you tell Mike Tyson you could beat me if we fought a second time?
“Now you’re quitting! I thought you wanted to beat the best? Well, if you decide to come back, I will be waiting to punish you again.”
But McGregor is confident he would beat Mayweather the second time around, explaining in January: “I know I beat Floyd, I’d beat Floyd if we rematched, when we rematch.
“He’s not gonna do a mixed martial arts bout like he said. It was supposed to be me boxing, and then we’ll do a mixed martial arts bout.
“That was what was said, and it came out of his mouth as well, and it was not written but it was a verbal agreement.
“And obviously, that’s not gonna happen. I’m not going to push him on that either.
“But I would like to box him. I think that would be a good rematch.”
However, UFC chief Dana White, now working with Mayweather, can’t see a fight being organised any time soon following McGregor’s MMA retirement.
He said: “I know Floyd would rematch McGregor, but McGregor’s retired.
“When I’m doing things right now and running business, I don’t even think about Conor. He is retired.
“As of right here now today, Conor is retired until Conor tells me differently. I’m not trying to make any fights for Conor.”
