New Delhi: The highly anticipated clash between UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is upon us.

Dubbed as the 'Fight of the Millenium', the bout will take place on Saturday, August 26, at the 20,000-seater T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Strip of Paradise.

Floyd Mayweather has lived a far from perfect life but the fighter known as 'Money Man' will have the chance to cap an unprecedented boxing career on Saturday when he puts his 49-0 record on the line against Conor McGregor.

In the buildup to the bout, Mayweather rattled off a list of boxing greats who have tried and failed to beat him including Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao and Arturo Gatti.
