Conor McGregor eyes bright future despite boxing defeat

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one still on Las Vegas time.

As the country tries to reset its collective bodyclock following the early rising of Sunday to catch the so-called Money Fight, Conor McGregor might also be reappraising his own future after a 10-round technical knockout by Floyd Mayweather propelled him, even in defeat, into a new sporting realm.

The 29-year-old made his name in the octagon of mixed martial arts (MMA) and UFC top brass are keen to bring him back, but his loss to Mayweather, in circumstances which exceeded the expectations of many boxing fans, may have opened up the possibility of getting back in the ring.
