UFC star Jorge Masvidal has hinted he could be set to step inside the ring with Floyd Mayweather in 2020.
Unbeaten boxing legend Mayweather announced his comeback last week, posting a photo alongside UFC chief Dana White and confirming they are "working together again to bring the world another spectacular event in 2020".
He has been tipped for two fights - a potential Manny Pacquiao rematch in the boxing ring followed by a further clash with a UFC fighter.
Masvidal, who beat Nate Diaz earlier this month, reposted an Instagram story claiming he would fight Mayweather at 154lbs for the BMF belt.
He then took to Twitter to state: "Yes it is true. I can make 154".
Masvidal, who has 1-0 record as a professional boxer having won a four-rounder back in 2005, has been keen to step back inside the ring.
He has previously called out Canelo Alvarez and insisted he is serious about challenging the pound-for-pound great.
"I'm dead serious about trying to fight Canelo Alvarez, man," he said on the Ariel Helwani show earlier this month.
"They'll give me a nice little change, I'd take my talents over there, and I'm going for the off button, man. I feel like I can shock the world."
"I think I can throw enough punches that I can attack Canelo and put him on his ass. I'd be going for the knockout, obviously. Nothing else. This is not to disrespect Canelo, because I think the dude is a beast. I think he's a stud.
"It would be an honour to get in the ring with him. But he did say some sh*t like no MMA fighter would be a challenge and this and that. I beg to differ."
Mayweather's work with UFC chief White could be the catalyst for him to step inside the ring with a big UFC name for the second time.
He beat Conor McGregor in a lucrative clash in August 2017 before hanging up his gloves.
Boston Celtics fan White watched his side lose 107-104 to the Los Angeles Clippers from the best seats in the house.
White had planned to launch his new venture Zuffa Boxing last month as he deviates from mixed martial arts.
He has given little away about his venture but is believed to be planning not to recognise the traditional sanctioning bodies, the IBF, WBC, WBA and WBO.
That would bring his promotion in line with the UFC which has only one belt per division.
