UFC superstar Conor McGregor attended the boxing fight between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius. He has a close friendship with Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn and decided to sponsor the boxing PPV with his latest Forged Irish Stout brand. It is safe to say that Conor McGregor stole the show at PPV and unexpectedly went after YouTuber turned boxer KSI during the event.
Conor McGregor had many privileges being the official sponsor of the PPV event. A member of the broadcasting team brought McGregor into the ring for an interview. The Irish supertar fired shots at KSI towards the end of the interview in a hilarious fashion. He said, “I know your man KSI in the crowd yeah? And he couldn’t box eggs if he walked in a egg boxing factory. So if he wants to get in here, I’ll give him a fight in bare-knuckle if he wants.”
McGregor’s bare-knuckle call out to KSI riled up the crowd, and they wanted to KSI to get in the ring with McGregor. However, the boxing commission will deny all the unsanctioned bouts for the PPV. In a different interview, McGregor confirmed his future plans ahead of his comeback this year. He said that he would fight Michael Chandler in December.
McGregor also maintained that he would compete for the BMF title against Justin Gaethje after he beats Chandler. He will then set up a trilogy fight against Nate Diaz for the BMF title. The aura of entertainment surrounding Conor McGregor once again made an event exciting by going after someone in the crowd. KSI is set to fight Tommy Fury later this year and could fight the Irishman if fate allows it.

Conor McGregor is training Dillon Danis for the Logan Paul boxing bout
KSI’s business partner Logan Paul will box Dillon Danis in November. Conor McGregor discussed the boxing bout while attending the clash between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius. McGregor and Danis have trained for years, and the Irishman predicted the fight result.
McGregor said, “Dillon will win for sure. They are already backtracking right now. They woke an animal. I know Dillon (for) years and I have trained with him many times. I’ve helped, I am guiding him and I’m gonna train him for this and I guarantee a win.
He continued, So I hope the lad shows up. He tried to put a bill on us if we don’t show up. We’re gonna come at him with a bill if he don’t show up.” Danis has issues with the Paul brothers and KSI. Hence, this could be why McGregor aimed shots at KSI and Logan Paul at the event.
