UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor has responded to former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi challenging him to a boxing match.
On Wednesday, McGregor hosted a conference call and was asked about Malignaggi saying he wanted to fight the UFC champion in a boxing ring.
“Look, tell the kid to join the queue,” McGregor said. “Tell him to shut his mouth and join the queue. He got his (expletive) kicked and I don’t know what else to say. Tell him to join the queue, I don’t know what else to say.”
Malignaggi recently left McGregor training camp after not liking the way he was treated. Since leaving McGregor’s camp, footage has been released showing McGregor knocking Malignaggi to the ground.
McGregor is currently preparing to make his professional boxing debut. On Aug. 26, McGregor will fight boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
