Conor McGregor has hinted at a return to boxing yet again. It has been six years since he last fought in a squared circle. However, he claims to be eying a return against none other than British social media sensation KSI, following the latter’s loss to Tommy Fury at Misfits X DAZN: Prime Card.
KSI was confident about his chances against Tommy Fury in their boxing match. However, he could not get past ‘TNT’ and ended up losing the fight via majority decision. But this gained him an unusual challenge from an opponent that he must have least expected, ‘The Notorious’ himself.

‘The Notorious’ seems to be always making headlines with his callouts. As such, he’s done it once again. He seemed to be witnessing the fight between KSI and Tommy Fury. Following the fight, Conor McGregor shared a tweet and expressed his wish to fight the 30-year-old YouTuber. He said, “Ya know what. Me and KSI is an exciting fight.”
It seems like Conor McGregor is thinking about getting into the influencer-crossover boxing scene. His former rival Nate Diaz has already done it with Jake Paul. So the Mystuc Mac venturing into a similar trajectory might not come as a surprise to many! “A juicy nixer I used to call them back when I was a plumber now I’m on the lambo yacht he’s in a huracan,” said McGregor.

Moreover, his friend and teammate Dillon Danis did not live up to the hype against Logan Paul. This could also be a reason why the Irishman decided to call out KSI for a fight. However, this is not the first time that McGregor has called out KSI.
‘The Notorious’ had already called out KSI for a fight
Conor McGregor previously attended Anthony Joshua‘s fight against Robert Helenius. He was engaged in a lot of antics, including making ‘AJ’ drink his Forged Irish Stout beer. However, he caught social media’s attention after making an unusual call out to KSI while in the crowd and also once in the ring.

“That man KSI over here. He couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg-boxing factory,” said Conor McGregor to KSI, who was also there to see Anthony Joshua fight. Even though the Irishman called out The Nightmare, there has been no development about the possibility of a boxing match happening between them.

It remains to be seen if Conor McGregor is serious about fighting KSI. He’s made many callouts to fighters in the past but hasn’t necessarily followed through with it. KSI is a big name in the influencer scene and a fight between him and McGregor could be a treat for the fans.
