At least one high-profile boxer is picking Conor McGregor to beat Floyd Mayweather.

Undefeated heavyweight Tyson Fury is no stranger to provocative quotes, and he had a whopper of a prediction when asked for his thoughts on the Aug. 26 boxing match between Mayweather and McGregor.

"I think Conor McGregor will knock him out in the first 35 seconds like he done to Jose Aldo," Fury told iFL TV.

"I think McGregor will do him in time, one round," he continued. "Come on, McGregor!"

It should be noted that Fury shares Irish roots with McGregor and that he also said he plans to call out Hulk Hogan for a pay-per-view fight soon, so his comments should be taken with more than a grain of salt.
