Waiting for Michael Chandler fight date, Conor McGregor gets called out by Tommy Fury for boxing showdown

It appears as though Conor McGregor could have another potential opponent, as Tommy Fury recently issued a challenge to the Irishman, and he is awaiting the date for his UFC return.

'The Notorious' has been eager to return to the octagon for his TUF coaches bout against Michael Chandler for quite some time. However, there have been constant delays, resulting in him voicing his frustrations during interviews. While speaking to DAZN Boxing, Fury decided to make some news of his own after the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson by issuing a challenge to the former two-division UFC champion:

"I've seen Jake Paul is fighting Mike Tyson. Why not me and Conor McGregor next? How's that? I've got a comeback fight and I'd like him for my return. So McGregor, get in touch."

McGregor had recently been hinting at a future boxing bout against Manny Pacquiao, so whether he responds to Fury's challenge or brushes it off completely remains to be seen.
