Meanwhile, in other boxing news/drama, Mexican pugilist Canelo Alvarez — who looks more Irish than McGregor — is voluntarily giving up his WBC belt because he and promoter Oscar De La Hoya are not yet ready to sign a deal to fight Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin.

Odds favor Alvarez and Golovkin fighting later in the year, which taken together with a Mayweather-McGregor tilt could provide a sweet one-two punch for boxing fans in 2016.
