Conor McGregor could be set for another foray into the world of professional boxing, with KSI and Tommy Fury seemingly on his radar.
Neither KSI or Fury have boxed since they locked horns at the AO Arena back in October, whilst McGregor’s sole pugilistic outing took place all the way back in 2017 against Floyd Mayweather.
However, the former UFC world champion has revealed he is open to lacing up the gloves again against one of the young stars.
Speaking to SneekPeak TV, McGregor stated his preference would be to take on YouTuber KSI, however he would also be willing to take on the youngest member of the famous Fury clan.
“Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer (a side job).
“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 UK.
“[Tommy] Fury called me out yesterday, and he beat Jake and he fought KSI so it’s just like another little world isn’t it?
“I’m open to it. I’ll never say no, I’ll never say no.”
McGregor was once regarded as one of the best fighters in all of mixed martial arts, however his form plummeted after his boxing match with Mayweather and he has only won one bout since.
Known as ‘The Notorious’, the Dubliner has been out of the Octagon for almost three years after sustaining a leg break in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.

Despite falling well short against Mayweather, McGregor has always seemed keen on returning to boxing and mentioned the possibility of fighting Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao on several occasions.
Fans have long been dubious over whether or not the 35-year-old has any real desire to return to any sort of fighting, given his enormous wealth and the indulgent lifestyle he appears to enjoy.
