Conor McGregor has predicted how he will beat Floyd Mayweather after unveiling a huge mural depicting the UFC star knocking out the boxer.
The Irishman has labelled himself ‘Mystic Mac’ in the past and has been known to predict the outcomes of his fights ahead of time and this time has made it very clear how he believes the mega-fight on August 26 will play out.
McGregor got an artist called Subset to decorate one of the walls in his gym in Dublin with a mammoth mural of himself landing a crushing left-handed blow to Mayweather.

The Boxing legend is seen spluttering blood as he is hit with the devastating punch.
McGregor took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo of himself posing in front of the mural, with the caption “I am a filthy Irish animal”.
He then later uploaded a second photo of himself clad in boxing gear, with the caption “tunnel vision.”
Mayweather's fight against McGregor has already been tipped to become the most lucrative fight in the history of sport, with some describing it as the world’s first billion-dollar fight.
