Posting a video online to his 10.4million followers, McGregor can be seen in the ring engaged in full boxing preparation.
Offering no further explanation, the 'Notorious' simply captioned the video 'Boxing at SBG,' allowing fans to make up their own minds as to whether this was just another routine drill for the mixed martial artist or perhaps something more.
Only recently both McGregor and Mayweather camps have suggested the multi-million dollar fight could happen, and soon.
The clash of the two titans would undoubtedly go down as one of the biggest events in boxing history and is likely to be the highest grossing fight of all time.
