Australian boxing champ Jeff Horn has made it aware he wants Floyd Mayweather next.

But the possibility of a dream Mayweather/Horn bout for us has seemingly been ruled out.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has quashed it, saying the 40-year-old's fight with Conor McGregor will be his last.

“Nothing against Jeff Horn but Floyd is just done,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“He’s not looking to accomplish anything after this. He’s beaten everyone in his era in a remarkable career. He’s ready to move on to the next stage of his life with his business interests.

“Jeff can call him out all he wants but Floyd Mayweather is done. This is it.”

Horn has previously highlighted his desire to take on Mayweather, whose record could reach 50-0 this weekend, or even McGregor.

"I would love a crack at Mayweather," he said.

"He’s super-slick, a terrific boxer and I want to beat the very best. He could challenge me for the world welterweight title. And if McGregor wanted to fight me I’d take it right now. I wouldn’t be worried one bit."
