7 Things Conor McGregor Could Do Next
3. A Return To Boxing
It's no surprise hearing Conor McGregor being linked with a return to boxing after his previous defeat to Floyd Mayweather earned him the biggest payday of his career, but who would he fight?
If you were following McGregor in his preparation for the MayMac Boxing match, you would have seen the bad blood shared between him and then training partner Pauli Malignaggi. When unexpected footage was released of Conor knocking Malignaggi down during a sparring session, the retired boxer ran to Twitter to share his opinion on what he thought was a 'slip'. The two began exchanging heated words and it seemed a rivalry was brewing.
The possibility is always there for a MayMac rematch, but considering Pauli Malignaggi cannot keep McGregor's name out of his mouth, we see this one being more likely if "Mystic Mac" was ever going to make a return to boxing.
