With the recent back-and-forth between Conor McGregor and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, some have speculated that the Irishman is gearing up for a return to the boxing ring.
McGregor, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, made his boxing debut in 2017 against none other than Floyd Mayweather Jr., with both men earning one of the biggest paydays in combat sports history.
McGregor lost the fight via 10th-round TKO but believes he would beat ‘Money’ in a rematch. Former two-division boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi, however, who has been embroiled in drama with McGregor ever since ‘The Notorious’ released footage of their controversial 2017 sparring session, believes it’s highly unlikely that the Dubliner will ever fight in the squared circle again.
