ANY boxer planning to try their hand at MMA may want to think twice following leaked footage of Conor McGregor sparring Patrick Hyland.
Hyland is no stranger to a scrap after being crowned the boxing WBF featherweight champion in 2011.

The UFC star showed no mercy on the former boxing champ
But he looked a fish out of water after stepping inside the Octagon to take on the Notorious.
With the pair padded up, McGregor instantly went straight for the body and took Hyland down to the canvas.
The 36-year-old fellow Irishman knew he was in instant trouble and can be heard shouting: “What do I do? I don’t know what to do.”
McGregor, who returned to the Octagon to beat Donald Cerrone in January, remains in total control of their session and even takes it easy on his opponent.
Hyland showed glimpses of the fighter he once was by throwing a couple of testing jabs but nothing to trouble the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champ.
McGregor even managed to laugh at the boxer when Hyland attempted a takedown of his own.
The footage was leaked online by the 31-year-old’s coach John Kavanagh but Hyland appeared to take the beating in good spirits.
The same can’t be said about McGregor’s former sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi who had a major fallout with the Notorious over a leaked sparring video.

It apparently showed McGregor flooring Malignaggi before his money-making scrap with Floyd Mayweather.
Malignaggi stormed out of his training camp and sparked a war of words that continues to rumble.
So much so that the American this week demanded that McGregor should go toe-to-toe with his fierce rival.
