The Irishman informed his fans about it in the social network.
“I will announce the date of my fight and opponent on New Year’s Eve, 2024,” McGregor wrote. “Greatest comeback in the history of the sport.”
Last week, the Irish fighter publicly threatened the world’s strongest league to begin negotiations for a boxing match against Manny Pacquiao if the organization did not schedule a fight for him, and two days ago, the head of the UFC, Dana White, revealed a conversation he had with McGregor, promising to resolve the issue.
The main candidate to fight the former UFC double champion remains American Michael Chandler, ranked fifth in the organization’s lightweight rankings. According to rumors, a fight between McGregor and Chandler could be part of the UFC 300 anniversary event, which will take place on April 13 in Las Vegas.
