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

    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

    Jake Paul’s business partner launches stinging attack on ‘hypocrite’ Eddie Hearn after promoter slammed Mike Tyson fight

He is currently without a British Boxing Board of Control licence after his clearance by UKAD was appealed. The BBBoC’s appeal with UKAD is ongoing with all parties believed to be awaiting a result.
