WATCH: Floyd Mayweather: 'I Look Forward To Signing My End Of Deal.'

Five days after Conor McGregor confirmed that he has officially signed his half of the deal, Floyd Mayweather has now spoken.

Last week, the UFC lightweight champion told The Mac Life: "It's an honour to sign this record breaking deal alongside my partners Zuffa LLC, The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Paradigm Sports Management,

"The first, and most important part of this historic contract has now officially been signed off on. Congratulations to all parties involved. We now await Al Haymon and his boxer's signature in the coming days."

UFC president Dana White has also said that McGregor has agreed the terms to the fight, and it will be straight up boxing.

There were some rumours that it could be a mix with MMA, but it seems that has been disregarded.

Dana White said: "I'm starting to work on the Mayweather side now. If we can come to a deal with Haymon and Mayweather, the fight's going to happen."

However, as recently as Wednesday, Mayweather spoke out about the fight. "There's only one fight that makes business sense," he said.

"I came out of retirement because I'm a businessman and I want to give the world what they want to see.

"McGregor's a fighter, I'm a fighter. This is what the fight fans and MMA fans want to see."

Floyd Mayweather has now revealed that he "looks forward" to signing the deal to fight McGregor, as heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua looked on.

Negotiations have been in the public domain following their back-and-forth exchanges which included a series of messages from Mayweather previously refuting that the fight has been finalised.

But this latest clip pretty much confirms a bout in the future:

It looks like we are closer than ever to a McGregor/Floyweather match-up.

Exciting times ahead.
