It followed amid McGregor’s online row with Deji’s brother KSI.

But McGregor, 34, said on Twitter: “Brother you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care.
“He should be back doing mma if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you.
“I couldn’t care less about this genre of boxing, I am sorry. Have a good one.”
