Following a report earlier on Wednesday that Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are going to box August 26th, Dana White has provided some of the details for the now, official bout.

The UFC President spoke with TMZ not long after the long rumored fight was officially announced, and White confirmed that the bout will be contested at 154 pounds. In addition, the boxing match will be 12 rounds and it will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Both fighters will be tested by USADA for performance enhancing drugs.

White also relayed in the interview that the negotiations for the bout went “a lot smoother” than he thought they would.
