The thirty-yr-outdated from Sao Paulo has warned if they were to combat, he would not take ten rounds to gain like Floyd Mayweather did in their lucrative crossover bout.
“He’s contemplating mainly because Floyd gave him a couple of rounds to get the job done with, he’s a boxer,” Teixeira informed The Solar. “I actually wouldn’t do the exact same factor as Floyd, I would exterminate him in two rounds, a person for him to go up and the other to go down.
“He would take a beating. Conor is just delusional, a genuine clown. Now, I want to conquer that clown up and retire him from the sport of boxing and UFC.”
McGregor, 32, is in talks to combat boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, 42, this yr but Teixeira states the Irishman really should aim decrease.
“I don’t detest Conor, I have nothing at all own against him, I just believe he hasn’t realized but that he requires to start off from the base,” Teixeira claimed. “He wants to combat large as he did with Mayweather, now he wants Pacquiao. We who are on a higher degree get rid of him very easily with out a dilemma, and he will be ashamed on Television set.
“I would damage his career, and he would fully grasp that boxing is for genuine gentlemen, not for clown. He could never ever take a combat like that, Floyd was good to him, I wouldn’t be.”
Teixeira defends the WBO strap he gained in 2019 against Brian Castano on February fourteen in the US.
The winner is envisioned to sq.-off with soaring Aussie boxing star Tim Tszyu soon after he gained a title eliminator against Bowyn Morgan last December.
“(I want a entire world title combat) subsequent. That’s it. I’m performed with Australia. I want the Mexicans, the Us citizens, the top rated-degree boys. I’m getting far more experienced. I just turned 26, I have not even reached my peak, I’ve bought yet another 3 or four years right before I access my peak,” Tszyu claimed soon after demolishing Morgan.
Tszyu’s manager Glen Jennings hopes to maintain the combat amongst his charge and Teixeira or Castano in Australia.
“There’s a lot of desire around the world in what we’re performing in Australia,” Jennings claimed last yr. “This younger fella has damaged a file he’s the only fighter in the entire world who has had two big stadium fights (in 2020). The entire world is looking at. The entire world appreciates that Tim Tszyu is all set for the entire world phase.”
Meantime, McGregor returns to the Octagon at UFC 257 this Sunday in a rematch against Dustin Poirier that will very likely set up a title shot of his own in the light-weight division.
