Conor McGregor has admitted he is actively pursuing a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jnr and has vowed to knock his head "clean off".
UFC star McGregor and the former world champion boxer have both hinted at a fight, which would take place in a the ring, not the Octagon.
Reports emerged earlier this week suggesting an agreement had been reached between the two men. Mayweather has since denied this is the case, claiming he is "happily retired".
McGregor, though, is not so coy.
“I'm pursuing that [fight],” McGregor told GQ , “and no one can stop me from pursuing that.”
When asked if he stood a chance against Mayweather with a pair of boxing gloves on, he said: "He's got a little head on him. Honestly, my fist is bigger than his head.
He added: "I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I'm stating facts. If I hit that man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers. You understand that? If I crack that little head of his, it's gonna go clean off his shoulders and up into the bleachers."
