Conor McGregor dipped into the world of Boxing at the weekend as he was part of the walkout for fellow Irishman Michael Conlan, who had his professional debut in New York City last night.

McGregor turning into Boxing for a big box office bout with Floyd Mayweather has been talked about for a while now, with the two trading all sorts of verbal jabs at one another.

And 'Mystic Mac' got a taste of the action last night when he was ringside for Conlan, who won his first fight as a professional boxer when he defeated Tim Ibarra by TKO in the third round of the super bantamweight contest at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

McGregor showed his support for his pal on St Patrick's Day and was completely invested in all that was going on in the ring.

Footage of the 28-year old watching the fight from ringside has emerged online and like you often get when fans are kicking every ball in the stands, an animated McGregor is stood up, doing a bit of shadow boxing and trying to give Conlan instructions.

He really wanted Conlan to use that jab.

In fact, the UFC star was so enthusiastic that security had to move him and give him a seat, but he still couldn't help standing up and supporting his compatriot.

McGregor then joined Conlan in the ring to celebrate a winning start to his professional career.

But of course, he couldn't resist having a few digs at Floyd Mayweather once again when a number of journalists crowded around him.

There's no doubt that Floyd will be responding imminently...
