Paulie Hits TMZ — Says He’ll Un-Retire And ‘Beat Conor McGregor’s *ss Like He Stole Something’

Former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi says he’d be willing to come out of retirement to fight UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor in a boxing match.

Last week, Malignaggi left McGregor’s training camp after photos were leaked of the two sparring. Malignaggi had traveled to Las Vegas to help McGregor prepare for his professional boxing debut.

In the photos, McGregor is shown causing damage to Malignaggi, which the former boxing champion thought was disrespectful and unethical.

Since leaving the camp, Malignaggi did an interview with TMZ Sports and says he’d be willing to fight McGregor in a boxing match.

“I would beat his (expletive) like he stole something. You got me?” Malignaggi said.

“I would beat his (expletive) like he stole something, and he knows it. More importantly, than me knowing it, he knows it, and that’s the best part.”

McGregor will make his professional boxing debut when he fights Floyd “Money” Mayweather on Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
