Conor McGregor is looking to return to boxing.
In recent weeks, rumors have been running rampant about Conor McGregor and his potential return to UFC. It appears that 'T🦂he Notorious One' could be focused on another venture though,🧸 one that would see him return to boxing.
On December 🅰17, McGregor shut down rumors of a possible UFC fight with Ilia Topuria before also noting that he is in "preliminary agreements" with the Am⛄bani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
McGregor also sta🐽ted that he'll seek his return to the Octagon after the exhibition with Paul.
The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.

I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.
Ilia Topuria responded to McGreꦏgor's post just a few hours later, saying he isn't interested in fighting him.
The 🦂rumors of bout with mchicken are false. I don't fight nor am I interested in fighting with🧸 a rapist.

Back in November, McGregor was found civilly liabꩲle of sexual assault in a civil case that was filed by Nikita Hand. In the case, Hand alleged that both McGregor and James Laurence sexually assaulted her in 2018. Laurence was f🗹ound not guilty in the case.
McGregor has famously only competed in one professional boxing match before, as he faced and lost to Floyd ♏Mayweather in 2017. McGregor also faced Michael McGrane in a exhibition boxing match back in 2019.
