Conor McGregor has been linked with a possible return to a professional boxing ring this year but at the moment everything seems up for debate around whether or not he’s actually interested in another boxing match or if a lot of this is just for more press and promotion.

The Irishman has now taken aim at both Tenshin and Paulie in an extensive social media post:
Conor McGregor’s record in professional boxing at this time is 0-1.
