The World Boxing Association (WBA) refused to participate in the organization of the fight between mixed martial artist Conor McGregor and boxer Floyd Mayweiser.

According to the president of the organization, the fight can only be considered as an exhibition.

"I think this will be an exhibition fight.

I do not think that it will be right for boxing to authorize such a duel as the official.

I know that this fight can take place. But I want to say that the WBA will not be involved in this. Both sportsmen have proved that they are the best in their field, but we will return to reality - the battle between them can only be held as an exhibition, "Mendoza said..

Recall, in late April, became known for fabulous fees for the fight of Mayweather and McGregor.
