McGregor, known for his fiery personality and willingness to take on tough opponents, appears to be unfazed by Froch's interest in a potential mixed martial bout. Instead, McGregor has set his sights on Hearn, a prominent figure in the boxing world, challenging him to put his money where his mouth is and make the fight happen.
Carl Froch, a former British super middleweight boxer, professed his willingness to fight in a cage against Conor McGregor during the latest episode of his podcast, Froch on Fighting.

This bold challenge has garnered attention from fans and analysts alike, with many speculating about the potential outcome of such a matchup.
'Cobra' has stated:
"I'd fight Conor McGregor in the cage. I could be getting myself in trouble here or into a position I can't wiggle out of, but I think I'd take him on in the cage. He's too small.”
The UFC superstar responded by calling on famed boxing promoter Hearn to arrange a matchup with Froch, although it's unclear whether the bout will occur. McGregor replied:
"Eddie Hearn, get this signed up lad."
