Boxing champ Keith Thurman calls for bout with Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor’s 2017 boxing venture against Floyd Mayweather Jr. made him an open target to be called out by other professional boxers. The latest one being undefeated WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman, who recently challenged “The Notorious” during a recent run-in with reporters, including TMZ.

“Conor, box me, baby,” Thurman said to the camera. “Conor, box me! You know you make more money in the boxing ring, anyways. Box me, Conor!

“Next pay-per-view fight after Manny Pacquiao.”

Thurman also took shots at McGregor, both for his performance against Mayweather, and his overall skills under boxing rules.
