Conor McGregor declines Vasyl Lomachenko’s offer to step in as a sparring partner.

Conor McGregor’s recent rifts with sparring partners have been a talked about topic, as of late. This all stemmed from his conflict with former world champion Paulie Malignaggi about some leaked boxing photos and supposed “mistreatment” and other issues.

Malignaggi’s departure urged other boxers to offer to step in as a replacement, such as Chris Van Heerden, and most recently, Vasyl Lomachenko, who recently tweeted McGregor to make his intentions known.

McGregor, for his part, had nothing much to say about Van Heerden, who he already had worked with in the past.
