Our boxer made an unexpected statement

Undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) has challenged Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor (22-6) to a fight. This is how the Ukrainian reacted to the news that WBC belt holder Tyson Fury will fight against former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Francis Ngannou.

"I saw that McGregor has gained normal weight now. Hey, Conor, let's have a fight at Wembley," said the 36-year-old Crimean.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Conor McGregor is a long-time admirer of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and has admired him several times.

 

It will be recalled that on 26 August, Usyk is due to hold a mandatory defence in a fight against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs).
