UFC champion Conor McGregor called out YouTube star KSI for a bare-knuckle boxing match. McGregor was at the Anthony Joshua -Robert Helenius fight at O2 Arena in London on August 13. The fight resulted in Joshua knocking out Robert to emerge victorious. McGregor was present at the fight as Joshua’s sponsor with his brand Forged Irish Stout.
After the fight, the Irishman stepped into the ring to get interviewed by Ade Oladipo, where he called out the YouTube star for a bare-knuckle match. The Notorious in the post-fight interview said, "Greatness don't rush. Joshua took his time, he landed a big heavy shot, I'm just happy Helenius got up. The fans should be grateful for the Finnish coming in, last minute replacement, no fear he gave a great performance, did himself proud and his team and I'm happy to see him get up.”

McGregor added, “Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie, big congrats Forged Irish Stout, and I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn't box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory. So if he wants to get in here I'll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want!"
The YouTube sensation responded to the call out and wrote, “Lmao just seen this. Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Connor on my d*** already and I didn’t even have to fight an MMA fighter."
Notably, McGregor is currently out of the action due to the leg injury he suffered two years ago.
