UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has previously teased at wanting to fight boxer Gervonta Davis in the long run, but he’s now considering the potential of fighting Floyd Mayweather.
After beating Conor McGregor within the boxing ring to maneuver to 50-0 in what was certainly one of the most important combat sports events of all time, Floyd Mayweather has continued to lace up the gloves for the past six years and fight in exhibition bouts.
Current UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley is budding into quite the star for the UFC and has previously spoken about his desire to fight within the boxing ring, mentioning names like Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia.
Sean O’Malley talks about potential future fight against Floyd Mayweather
‘Money’ Mayweather fought this past weekend against John Gotti III in one other exhibition bout, his first in two years.
As expected for an exhibition boxing bout, something extremely bizarre happened when Mayweather swapped out the ref mid-fight because he stopped the fight claiming that the 47-year-old was punching Gotti III on the back of the top.
After changing the referee, the fight continued and the 2 fought out the eight, two-minute rounds.
Despite it being an exhibition bout, ‘Suga’ Sean was complimentary about Mayweather, stating that he looked great throughout the fight, despite being 47 years old.
“The primary couple of highlights I watched from like round one and three, Floyd was piecing him up, looking good as f*ck. Like pull 2’s, like, it was pretty f*cking sick,” O’Malley said within the recent episode of the Timbo and Sugar Show.
O’Malley’s head coach, Tim Welch, went on to ask the 29-year-old if it could be possible in any respect for him to fight Mayweather in a crossover boxing bout.
“Me vs Floyd? I’d love that, that might be crazy. Just get him right at the top, put him out, and put him in,” O’Malley answered.
With the UFC having already promoted a crossover bout including Mayweather, they may potentially consider doing it again with arguably their biggest current lively star, O’Malley.
Whether it happens during ‘Suga’s’ UFC profession or not, he has revealed that it is unquestionably something he’ll do once he is finished with MMA.
“Exhibition sh*t? 100% (I’ll do it once I’m done with MMA),” he added.
Sean O’Malley predicts a left-hand knockout over Merab Dvalishvili
Before O’Malley may even take into consideration entertaining a crossover boxing fight, he must first defend his UFC bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili, in a historic event on the Las Vegas Sphere.
The 2 are scheduled to important event the one-off event at UFC 306 on September 14 and if the champion does rating himself a left-hand knockout, as he’s predicting, his stardom will proceed to rise and he’ll put himself closer to with the ability to speak about an enormous crossover fight.
“Left-hand to the choppers, I feel like I’m either gonna brutally, well, I do know I’m gonna hurt him, at one point I’m gonna hurt him but then it could turn into only a brutal KO.
“Absolutely, like not weight cut, not camp, and he just get slept badly, like 5 or 6 punches just add up and the last one puts him into the canvas, snoring, nose crooked,” O’Malley predicted.
