The former UFC Champion Corner McGregor was at the O2 Arena in London to spectate Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius fight, where Joshua knocked out Robert for the win. McGregor was on Joshua’s corner as a sponsor for his brand Forged Irish Stout.

After the fight, the Notorious one stepped inside the ring to be interviewed by Ade Oladipo. In which the Irish man said, “Greatness don’t rush” as Joshua didn’t rush and took his time and landed a “big heavy shot”. He then showed gratitude to Helenius who stood up to the challenge as a last minute replacement and did not fear to deliver a great performance. He is proud of his team and happy to see him progress.

McGregor on KSI

McGregor wished AJ, Eddie and Forged Irish Stout, after which McGregor said “I Know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory”. He added that If KSI wants to get in there, he would “give him a final yoke” and if KSI wants, McGregor is ready to do it with a “bare knuckle”.

The Youtube sensation, KSI answered to the challenge and wrote on twitter, “Lmao! Just seen this” and added “Jake Paul must be crying” that he already got Connor on his “d***” already. To McGregor’s challenge, he denied by stating that he “didn’t have to fight an MMA fighter”.

When did McGregor had his last match

Although McGregor challenged KSI, he has been out of action for the last two years as a result of his leg injury. Last time McGregor stepped foot on the ring was inside an Octagon at UFC 264 with Dustin Prior on the opposite, where he broke his leg while landing on the floor and lost the match by TKO. McGregor’s first and last boxing match was against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and got defeated by split decisions.
