Russian fighter Khabib NurmagomedoV, who recently handed over a thumping defeat to the biggest name in the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Conor McGregor, has now challenged another undefeated fighter- Floyd Mayweather.

In an Instagram video, posted by his promoter Leonard Ellerbe, NurmagomedoV challenged Mayweather saying that there could only be one king in the jungle.

"Let's go Floyd, we have to fight now. 50-0 versus 27-0, two guys (who) never lose. Let's go, why not? Because in the jungle (there's) only one king. Only one king... of course, I'm the king. Because, he cannot drop... McGregor but I drop him easily. That's why, let's go," he said in the video.

While Mayweather is undefeated in the 50 professional fights that he has fought so far, Nurmagomedov holds a 27-0 winning streak record.
