Conor McGregor has been spending some time as of late honing his boxing skills. After all, the UFC champion is set to make his boxing debut against a living legend of the sport. However, McGregor was sparring with professional boxers far before his match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. was revealed.
Back in 2013, Conor McGregor met former professional boxer Patrick Hyland inside the cage for a little sparring. In the video above, Conor McGregor can be seen using his mixed martial arts training to make short work of his sparring partner.
Conor McGregor will be looking to take advantage of his newly honed boxing training on Aug. 26 against Floyd Mayweather Jr. inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
