Moments after AJ won the bout, McGregor entered the ring to boldly challenge the influencer-turned-boxer, KSI to a matchup that most did not see coming. Mcgregor took an out-of-the-blue dig at KSI by stating that he could not “box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory” further inviting him for a fight to prove his worth. In a fraction of minutes after the scathing declaration, the MisFits CEO took to his X claiming that he had Conor on his “d*ck already”. Months after this confrontation, KSI has spoken out about how he felt when McGregor made the shocking offer.

And that I’m this and that.” Furthermore weird because AJ came out in support of KSI as McGregor continued to make those statements. KSI elaborated, “And it was pretty embarrassing for him because AJ was like, “nah nah that’s my guy.’ So he looked a little stupid there.”
