Khabib’s father would like to see a boxing rematch with Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor, the MMA superstar is desperate to avenge the loss against Khabib Nurmagomedov at the UFC 229 event last month and he may get a rematch with UFC lightweight champion but only in the boxing ring, according to Khabib’s father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Abdulmanap said: “As for the fight against Conor according to the rules of boxing, we are interested in such a fight. “Khabib showed that he is able to win the best drummers of mixed martial arts. He talked about this before, but few believed it. However, after bright victories over Michael Johnson, Edson Barbosa and Conor, (people) begin to believe. Nurmagomedov is able to do it in the boxing ring. Khabib has all the skills to win by the rules of boxing. One of the key skills can be called endurance. “I recall a five-round fight with Al Iaquinta, in which Khabib showed his willingness to fight in absolutely any manifestation, using everything from a light left jab to control in the stalls. I want to note that the fight with Al Iaquinta was of great importance for us, the champion belt was at stake and it was important to hold the meeting coolly, taking our own. What we did.”
