Throwback To The Time Conor McGregor Sparred With Former World Champion Boxer

Conor McGregor brilliantly responded to UFC's decision to strip him of the featherweight title as well as shooting down Paulie Malignaggi with the infamous "Who da fook is that guy?!" quote.

But following McGregor obtaining a boxing license, let's take a look at McGregor inside the squared circle as he spars with Chris van Heerdan at the Box 'n' Burn gym in Los Angeles, California, the state where he's been cleared to box.

The re-emergence of McGregor sparring with the ex-IBO world champion caught the attention of Malignaggi who recently called out the Irishman offering to welcome him into the ring.

It sure is unlikely, well, it's prohibited within his contract with the Zuffa organisation but how would a boxing contest with the 'Notorious' and 'Magic Man' go down?
