    Conor McGregor says Nate Diaz’s boxing skills are ‘p***’ compared to brother Nick and goads rival by saying ‘I made you’

    CONOR McGREGOR said Nate Diaz’s boxing skills are ‘p***’ compared to brother Nick’s and goaded ‘I made you’ to his rival. McGregor was full of praise for Nick, who made his UFC return after six years out but was beaten in round three by Robbie Lawler.

    Up until the stoppage, the Stockton veteran had put on a ruthless display of boxing, landing combinations and body shots.
    McGregor, who lost and then beat Nick’s younger brother Nate in 2016, praised the former Strikeforce champion online.
    But he also used the opportunity to throw out a dig at old rival Nate, fuelling speculation of a trilogy bout between them.
    McGregor, 33, tweeted: “Nate your boxing is p*** compare to nicks. We been fed garbage with your sloppy shots the last few years.
    “Can see the clear difference between the two brothers after last night. Balance, composure. Another level the big bro is on to you. I made you.”
    Nate, 36, became the first man to ever beat McGregor when he filled in on under two week’s notice at UFC 196.

    But the result was avenged five months later in a five-round classic at UFC 202, leaving a trilogy decider evading fans ever since.
    Nate most recently lost to British welterweight Leon Edwards, 30, but wants to return in December.
    McGregor meanwhile is nursing a broken tibia suffered against Dustin Poirier, 32, in July.
    Poirier, who was first beaten by the Irishman in 2014, knocked him out in the rematch in January and won the trilogy by doctor stoppage.
    McGregor is hoping to make a comeback next year having undergone surgery on the injury.

    Anderson Silva’s coach says UFC legend wants to fight Floyd Mayweather and predicts ‘it would break all PPV records’

    Floyd Mayweather came out of retirement to face YouTuber Logan Paul
    It has seen Silva, 46, beat ex-boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez, 35, and knock out fellow MMA legend Tito Ortiz, 46.
    But now the UFC middleweight icon wants to jump to the top of the sport and challenge one of boxing’s best ever, 50-0 Mayweather.
    Silva’s trainer Luiz Dorea told AG Fight: “I think the one fight that should happen was between Floyd Mayweather and Anderson Silva.
    “One of the greatest boxing athletes against one of the greatest MMA in the world.
    “Floyd faced Logan Paul, who doesn’t have that much experience in boxing, in an exhibition match. I think I could have a deal.
    “These fights against YouTubers can happen too, because Anderson wants something that motivates him. We will have good news soon.”

    Mayweather, 44, officially retired as a professional in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 33, in ten rounds.
    But only this June he returned for an exhibition bout against YouTuber Logan Paul, 26, which ended without a winner after no KO was scored.
    Mayweather had no problems in giving away TWO STONE to Paul, who later survived all eight rounds.
    And Silva now wants to prize the American back into the ring, and smash the 4.6m PPV record he shares after his 2015 win over Manny Pacquiao, 42.
    Dorea said: “It’s my wish and his. We have great respect for Floyd Mayweather and he is one of the greatest boxing athletes in history.
    “He tested himself against a YouTuber heavier than him, so why not Anderson Silva? It would break all pay-per-view records.
    “We would like to do. It has everything to do.”

    Oleksandr Usyk wants Anthony Joshua rematch at 70,000-seater Olympic Stadium in KIEV but Eddie Hearn hints at UK fight

    OLEKSANDR USYK wants his lucrative rematch with Anthony Joshua to take place in front of a packed crowd at Ukraine’s 70,000 seater Olympic Stadium.The former undisputed cruiserweight champion put on a boxing masterclass against AJ last Saturday to claim the unified heavyweight titles.

    Joshua, 31, is set to exercise the rematch clause placed in his contract to face the Ukrainian, who is hoping to make his first title defence on home soil.
    The 34-year-old said: “I would love to have the rematch at Olympiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.”
    Promoter Eddie Hearn, however, believes the second instalment of Usyk vs Joshua will likely take place in UK again.
    The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “We will work together to maximise (the income), Ukraine is very unlikely.
    “I think it will be international or the UK, I would think it would be in the UK.”
    Hearn then told IFL TV: “We’ll sit down with Alex [Krassyuk] and Egis [Klimas] and we’ll work out where the fight is going to make sense, generate the most money, create the most interest. All kinds of things.

    “AJ don’t care where it is. He’d much rather do it in London, but we’ll have to see.
    “Usyk’s the champ, this is his night. Great guy, great team, they deserve it.”
    Despite being outclassed by Usyk, Joshua is hellbent on settling the score with his fellow London 2012 Olympian.
    After the fight, a dejected AJ said: “What went wrong?
    “I just took a loss, I could not see from the 9th round, my eye was shut but it was a good experience.

    “In adversity, you have to learn to control yourself, it was the first time it had happened to me, I was only looking out of one eye.
    “I want it 100 per cent it was a good 12 rounder and it will help me get better.”
    And Hearn believes the former two-time unified heavyweight champ has to grasp the opportunity to reclaim the belts with both hands.

    He said: “If he does not take the immediate rematch he might never get a chance to fight for them again.
    “I don’t see another option, he will not want a 10 rounder at the O2 and he should be commended for that.
    “That’s what he does, he wants to be remembered as that kind of fighter.”

    Logan Paul claims he would have KO’d Floyd Mayweather if exhibition was 12 rounds and says legend was ‘breathing heavy’

    But he reckons he would’ve KO’d the Money man if their clash was longer than eight roundsCredit: GETTY
    But Paul, 26, believes he would’ve had handed Mayweather his first stoppage loss if they shared the ring for a few more rounds.
    The elder Paul brother told the True Geordie, he said: “My conditioning is f***ing good, bro.
    “If the fight went 10 or 12 rounds, I think I would knock him out. I say that in full conviction.”
    The Maverick believes Mayweather was fatigued at the end of the final round.
    He continued: “I saw him breathing heavy for the first time that eighth round and it was because I had been leaning on him.
    “I’m 30 pounds heavier. Like no matter how you cut it, me leaning on a guy that size is gonna get him tired no matter how good he is.

    “I was coming alive too. That’s what we trained for, we sparred for 12 rounds. I’m probably throwing 120 punches by the 12th round.
    “My conditioning is good, I had a little ‘uhh’ in the fourth round then second wind came in.”
    Paul is eager to return to the squared circle, saying last month: “I have to.
    “This is the coolest thing on the planet. You think about the Roman Colosseum, when you watch the gladiators fight to the death.
    “Look around. My brother filled this arena up in Cleveland, Ohio, his home city. It’s the coolest thing anyone could ever ask for.

    “I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Fighters, bro, modern-day gladiators. There is no more dangerous athlete.
    “When the fighter walks in the room, everyone feels it. He’s got a presence. And it’s cool, I love it.
    “I love the sport, I love entertaining. And honestly, I’m f***ing good, bro.”

    Reports now suggest Mayweather is aware of the talk and is open to a fight if his American rival really has the money.
    But word is the Mayweather camp do not believe he does.
    The pair famously faced each other back in 2007 in what was at the time boxing’s richest event.
    De La Hoya hung up his gloves a year later after losing to Manny Pacquiao.

    De La Hoya has been looking for an opponent after calling out former charge Canelo Alvarez.
    The Mexican star was part of De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions until an acrimonious split last year over broadcast contracts sparked a war of words between them.

    Footage has emerged of a cowardly fan yelling at the 42-year-old before he turned around and confronted the yob.
    Tensions were obviously running high after Joshua had been well beaten by the Ukrainian on Saturday night.
    And Hearn reacted to the man who was heard yelling abuse.
    Footage has surfaced online of Hearn walking behind Joshua on their way back into the bowels of the stadium.
    And a man can be heard shouting: “Oi Eddie, you p***y!”
    Essex-based Hearn quickly span around with an angry look on his face and approached the perpetrator.

    And he said: “What did you say? What did you say?
    “Yeah, you s*** yourself now.”
    The clip appears to show Hearn calling the man a ‘p***y’ in return but it is not totally clear.
    Hearn turned and made his way back to the changing rooms after the incident and men behind the camera could be heard laughing.
    Having had a chance to calm down a little, Hearn later spoke at the post-fight press conference and warned AJ to trigger his Usyk rematch clause immediately.
    Hearn said the Londoner may never get the chance to win his belts back again if he does not.

    He said: “Ultimately if he doesn’t accept the rematch clause, he will not get a chance to win his world championships back… possibly ever the way this game works.”
    Hearn also revealed the judges’ scorecards which showed Joshua leading before a nasty eye injury in the ninth round sparked a meltdown.
    Fellow heavyweight Dillian Whyte also accused AJ of being ‘gun-shy, negative and lacking ambition’.
