FLOYD Mayweather remained adamant that his victory over Conor McGregor marked the final fight of his decorated career.

The boxer has previously insisted he is retiring before being lured back, but with this latest victory improved his record to 50-0, surpassing the great Rocky Marciano.

The 40-year-old instead revealed his plans to become a trainer, following his uncle Roger and father Floyd Snr into their professions.

“I had a great career, a tremendous career,” he said. “I just want to help these fighters. I look forward to becoming a boxing trainer.

“My dad’s a hell of a trainer, he taught me the sport, and I want to help other trainers and help make fighters better, teach fighters to become a superstar not just in the ring but on the outside.

“Rocky Marciano’s a legend: he paved the way for me to be where I’m at. Every fight counts to me, not just one fight.

“After 21 years in the sport of boxing, I had some great fights, I had some boring fights, but I will always be remembered as a winner.

“I know how to dissect an opponent, go out there, and stick to the game-plan.”

Mayweather also had some praise for his opponent. He said: “McGregor was solid. I’d been off for a couple of years.

“For the last month, I didn’t do any sparring. Not an injury, but I wanted my hands to be 100 per cent for the fight. My hands are brittle, everybody knows that: I wanted my hands to be solid. If I got a serious hand injury I wouldn’t be able to punch as hard.

“I told the referee: ‘He’s going to be doing a lot of rabbit punching’. My only concern was him hitting me in the back of the head, but he’s tough.

“I’m not here to bash the referee. You know what’s going on: a lot of rabbit punching. [But] I’m not here to bash anyone.”
