Conor McGregor's head coach John Kavanagh reckons the UFC featherweight champion's proposed boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr will go ahead.
"It puts it on hold. I think that contest will happen eventually but it's on hold for now, " he told MMA Underground's Jonathan Shrager.
"I'd be very surprised if it doesn't at some stage.
Meanwhile, Kavanagh has hinted that he has the blueprint to defeat Mayweather Jr, who has never suffered a loss during his professional career.
During his interview with Shrager, he said: "But seriously I think Conor's style is very unusual and Floyd is - I'm personally a fan of his style. I love watching him. I love watching fighters who don't get hit... I think it's absolutely beautiful and that's why I mean I think he is one of the older school trained fighters and the boxing approach most are using against him just won't work because he's been doing this for so long. He's in fantastic shape for his age and he hasn't taken much head trauma.
"So if you understand anything about skill development you'll know that he's got so many hours of that purposeful practice. Not only purposeful practice but actual competitive experience, so I don't think that same approach will beat him.
"But I think the way we strike in mixed martial arts and some of the movements we use and some of the approaches we use, he won't have the software ready ignition system to that way of moving and way of standing. It would be different to him. So that and a couple of sly elbows as well."
And finally, Kavanagh has claimed he doesn't know if McGregor's future lies in the featherweight division.
"The short answer is I don't know," Kavanagh told Shrager. "I'm very intrigued to see the Aldo and Edgar fight."
