Former boxing champion Paul Malignaggi decided to join Conor McGregor’s training camp ahead of the UFC superstar’s boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, things would end poorly between the two fighters before “Notorious” made his debut.
Initially added to the team as a sparring partner for McGregor, Malignaggi departed from the camp shortly after a series of sparring photos were leaked to the public. In the photos, McGregor appeared to have gained the upper hand on the experienced and decorated boxing veteran.
Following Malignaggi’s departure, a short clip of their sparring session was leaked. The clip revealed what appeared to be McGregor once again getting the upper hand over Malignaggi. Irked that the UFC lightweight champion would not release the rest of the sparring footage, Malignaggi has since been on bad terms with McGregor.
Conor McGregor would go on to lose in his boxing debut, suffering a TKO defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the tenth round. In the meantime, Paul Malignaggi has been vocal on his opinion of the UFC megastar and his boxing skills. Now the former boxing champion has decided to mock McGregor’s boxing in a new interview.
