Irishman McGregor, 28, announced the fight on Twitter by simply saying “The fight is on” and accompanying it with a cheeky dig at his rival — a pic of Mayweather’s DAD.

And five-weight former world champ Mayweather responded moments later to confirm the most-hyped fight ever with a video showing a boxing ring, the pair’s faces and the fight date emblazoned across it.

On TV, UFC president Dana White then revealed the bout between undefeated Mayweather and MMA superstar McGregor would take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas and be at light-middleweight.

White said: “The impossible deal is now done. We’ve been in negotiations for a while.

“It’ll be in a ring, it’s a boxing event.

“Conor McGregor is a guy who’s done a lot of good things for the sport and this company and he wanted this and the fans too.

“Conor is 100 per cent positive he wins this fight and I stopped doubting him a long time ago.

“Floyd Mayweather is 40 years old, he’s always had problems with southpaws.

“Conor is 28 and southpaw. When Conor hits people, they fall.

“The reason Conor’s as big as he is is he’ll fight anybody, anywhere, anytime. He will go after Floyd Mayweather and he will try to knock him out.”

The duo have been engaged in a year-long slanging match that has left fans salivating at the prospect of a cross-code showdown.

The pay-per-view bout will be broadcast on Showtime and could gross a staggering $1bn — £784million.

In his first UFC fight four years ago, Irishman McGregor pocketed just £8,000.

Mayweather, who will come out of retirement to take on McGregor, is undefeated in his 49 bouts.

Irishman McGregor is the only UFC fighter to hold a world title in two different weight divisions.
