Sanchez, who is 24-0 with 17 knockouts, most recently stopped Junior Fa in seven rounds on Anthony Joshua’s undercard in December.

      Conor McGregor sensationally opens door to fighting ‘NERDS’ Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury and picks his top choice

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury – calling the trio “NERDS.” McGregor has been called out by all three celebrity boxing stars but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover bouts. Conor McGregor opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy FuryCredit: SplashBut now it appears he has had a change of heart when probed on a move back to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight. He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer. “Your Uncle’s friend needs a f****** radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay.“I would consider them guys to be nixers. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K.”READ MORE IN UFCThe term “nixer” is Irish slang for a side job. And McGregor in 2017 put aside his MMA career to cross over to boxing to face American icon Floyd Mayweather, losing in ten rounds. But due to his current UFC contract – which has two bouts remaining on it – the Irishman is prohibited from another boxing switch. Although that has not stopped Paul – who returns against 57-year-old Mike Tyson on July 20 – from continuing to call McGregor out. Most read in BoxingCHELTENHAM BETTING OFFERS – BEST FREE BET DEALS FOR THE FESTIVALMeanwhile Fury – who has beaten both Paul and KSI – became the latest to challenge the MMA great following news of Tyson’s shock comeback. And McGregor, 35, said in response: “The Pauls – that Tyson fight is just a strange one to me, I hope Tyson takes his nose off.’I don’t think either of us know’, admits Conor McGregor on UFC future after ‘lack of transparency’ over return fight“I’m sure at some stage [I’ll end up fighting one of them], I’m sure at some stage. You know, we’ll go through all of these guys.“Fury called me out yesterday, and he beat Jake and he fought KSI so it’s just like another little world isn’t it?”McGregor is yet to fight since July 2021, when he broke his leg in the opening rounds of his fight with Dustin Poirier, 35. But he remains linked with a return against Michael Chandler, 37, despite growing frustrated as talks drag. And now McGregor has further teased another go at boxing as he concluded: “I’m open to it. I’ll never say no, I’ll never say no.”Both KSI and Tommy Fury have called out McGregorCredit: AlamyJake Paul has long called to fight McGregorCredit: Reuters More

      AMIR KHAN has backed Wayne Rooney to fight Jamie Vardy and has even offered to TRAIN the Manchester United legend.

Their wives, Coleen and Rebekah, were centre of the infamous Wagatha battle that gripped the nation. So even British boxing hero Khan would like to see the former international team-mates settle it in the ring. He told Gambling Zone: “Jamie Vardy is the right fight for Wayne Rooney, that’s a very good even fight.

Meanwhile Vardy, 37, is still playing with Leicester in the Championship.

He said: “I’d love to train and help Wayne Rooney, sportsmen have a lot of respect for one another, because they’ve been there and done it, so they’d listen to you more than a normal trainer. KSI claims Wayne Rooney sent him private message at 4am as Man Utd legend pitches stadium blockbuster fight”When you train with another athlete it’s going to push you and you’re going to train hard.” Rooney did finally break his silence amid the boxing rumours on an episode of The Overlap in February. He said: “They’ve been in touch and asked the question but I think at the minute I want to focus on getting back into management, not boxing.”There’s been a few [offers] and obviously Misfits have been in and that’s been all over the news. “But listen I want to focus on getting back into management, that’s my focus.”Rooney with wife ColeenCredit: GettyRooney pictured with ex-boxing champion Amir Khan More
