CONOR MCGREGOR has revealed how he’d prepare for a potential rematch with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

The UFC‘s poster boy locked horns with the Money man in a much-maligned boxing match in August 2017.

But The Notorious ended up suffering a tenth-round TKO defeat to the four-weight champ

McGregor, 32, suffered a tenth-round TKO loss to the former four-weight world champion, with fatigue playing a major role in the stoppage.

And with the benefit of hindsight, The Notorious would make use of fresh attacking-minded training partners late into his sparring sessions.

During an impromptu Twitter Q&A on Sunday night, he said: “I’d have people press forward in sparring.

“Especially in the later rounds. A fresh body pressing forward for the last 4 rounds.”

Despite not having set foot inside the boxing ring since his ill-fated professional debut, McGregor is confident he’d get the better of the undefeated Mayweather.

After getting wind of Mike Tyson‘s praise of his performance last March, the Irishman tweeted: “Thank you, Mike.

“And just know that for the inevitable rematch, with the knowledge I now hold of Floyd’s style, plus under the tutelage of my old school boxing coach, I will crack the puzzle, and I will beat Floyd.

“I promise my life on it.”

SunSport revealed earlier this year that preliminary talks over a second multi-million-pound showdown between the pair had taken place before The Notorious’ UFC 257 showdown with Dustin Poirier.

But defeat in his Abu Dhabi dust-up with The Diamond has temporarily scuppered the bout.

McGregor is currently gearing up a blockbuster trilogy fight with fan-favourite Poirier, who knocked him out in the second round of their January rematch.

Floyd Mayweather, meanwhile, will face YouTuber Logan Paul in an exhibition on June 6

The retired Mayweather, meanwhile, is preparing for an exhibition bout with YouTuber star Logan Paul.

The 44-year-old will throw down with the social media phenom on June 6 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Mayweather’s clash with the elder Paul brother has been slammed by McGregor, who on Instagram: “Hey Leonard Ellerbe, what the f*** is Floyd at?

“The kid curled up, didn’t fight back once, and Floyd is still running around acting the tough guy.

“The kid actually just pulled this shambles of a situation Floyd is in out of the drain for him. He should thank him. It’s embarrassing!

“Pro to pro it’s embarrassing. He will not scratch $10million for this fight and he knows it. It was cancelled once already.

“The world is watching this on Twitter. He’d fight a half decent pro and command $20million upwards, yet it’s this s***.

“Whatever way you spin this, it’s sad. Fight someone for real, on your record, or f*** off mate. Slap head!”
