Floyd Mayweather retires with perfect record by stopping Conor McGregor in mismatch

Mayweather won for the 50th time in his decorated career when the fantasy fight with McGregor proved a mismatch.

Conor McGregor was eventually left bloodied and beaten by Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas but he proved his point by providing the now 50-0 all-time great with a few moments of panic, writes Declan Taylor.

This fight was described in the build-up as everything between a circus and the biggest event in combat sports history. In many ways it was both.
