But McGregor has talked up a sequel ever since and vowed to “get the job finished” if he had another opportunity.
Asked about his comments, McGregor told Inside Fighting: “I’ve been thinking about it a long time.
“I’ve had a long time to think about it and analyse it, happy with how it went the last time.
“I’d for sure look to (KO Mayweather). I’d like to go back in with my old boxing coaches who I reunited with post-fight. I feel my style has developed.”
McGregor, 34, was cornered by his MMA coaches Owen Roddy and John Kavanagh for his defeat to Mayweather.
But in the years following, he returned to his old amateur boxing coach Phil Sutcliffe, the 1980 and 1984 Irish Olympian.
Sutcliffe has corned McGregor alongside Roddy and Kavanagh in the cage as well as training the UFC legend in his Crumlin Boxing Club.
Mayweather, 46, officially retired following the stoppage win but has continued to box in exhibitions since.

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination may have multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Sparring
Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
