Mayweather hasn’t competed professionally since defeating Conor McGregor in 2017 to become 50-0 in the ring. However, he told Reuters on Tuesday he was stepping away from boxing.

“I’ve got calls to get back into the ring, but my health is my wealth,” Mayweather said. “Boxing is a very, very brutal sport. In the last few years a lot of fighters have died inside that squared circle.”

Mayweather has been rumored to be fighting Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez, but a possible debut in the UFC may raise suspicions of a McGregor rematch. McGregor announced he would return to the UFC in January and no opponent had been assigned to him as of yet.
