CONOR MCGREGOR has been accused of trying to steal the limelight during Anthony Joshua’s win over Robert Helenius.
AJ knocked out the Finn in emphatic fashion in the sixth round of their O2 Arena clash last night.
McGregor was in the front row for the contest and got fans talking because of his unusual antics.
The Notorious, who has not fought since breaking his leg in a defeat to Dustin Poirier two years ago, was seen shadowboxing during the contest.
Viewers found McGregor’s behaviour ridiculous and claimed the fighter was trying to make the show about him.
One said: “He tried his best to make this whole show about him. It’s always the Conor McGregor show.”

He told DAZN: “Greatness doesn’t rush. He took his time, he landed a big heavy shot. I’m just happy Helenius got up.
“The fans should be grateful for the Finn coming in, last minute replacement. No fear, he came in and put in a great performance. He did himself proud and his team.
“Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie. Big congrats to the UK.
“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.”
