Mayweather to Begin MMA Training 'Soon'
Boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr said he will begin mixed martial arts training "soon" and his wrestling game is "not that bad."
Floyd Mayweather Jr on Thursday confirmed he will begin training for a transition into mixed martial arts in the near future with the help of UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
The legendary 41-year-old ended his brief retirement to beat UFC superstar Conor McGregor in a 10-round stoppage in Las Vegas last August, improving his perfect boxing record to 50-0.
It remains unclear who Mayweather would fight, but he appears set on making another comeback.
"I'm gonna start soon," Mayweather told TMZ Sports. "We've [Mayweather and Woodley] been texting back and forth. We talked a couple times, so we gonna start working out real soon."
Mayweather added: "I can wrestle. My wrestling game is not that bad,
"On a scale from 1 to 10, it's probably a 7. And I think we can take it up to a 9 if possible. Of course, my hand game, on a scale of 1 to 10, is 100. My kicking game, on a scale from 1 to 10, is probably a 4."
Mayweather shared a Photoshopped image of himself and McGregor in the octagon last month, hinting at another showdown and further hyping the rematch rumours when he issued a warning to the Irishman.
