by · Irish Mirror

Conor McGregor says he is open to a fight with YouTuber, boxer and musician KSI.

The influencer released a track called Thick of It that has received criticism online with McGregor seemingly not a fan of the song.

McGregor appeared at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Spain weigh-ins and got involved in the action as tempers flared between some of the participants.

In an interview, the Irishman was asked if he would fight KSI in a boxing match. He responded: “I’ll fight him for that bulls**t song he released alone!

“I’ll fight him for that song alone!”

KSI replied to the video online, calling McGregor an “Idiot.”

McGregor has teased the idea of returning to the boxing world with a match against an influencer like Jake Paul or KSI.

Fans have been disappointed that a UFC return has been pushed back again after the Dublin native announced a match against Michael Chandler back at the end of last year, but it has not materialised.

McGregor was in the news recently as Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager Ali Abdelaziz claimed he never wanted to fight Justin Gaethje.

"Let's be real, Conor McGregor will never, will never... He got offered this fight at least five times. At least five, he never wanted to have to do anything with Justin Gaethje.

"He said the reason he didn't want to fight Justin was because Justin talked bad to him on Twitter [X] and Instagram before, and the history we have with him. He didn't want to lose to our team, I guess?"

When asked when the offers were made, Abdelaziz responded by saying: "Through the last five or six years. He got offered Justin Gaethje so many times, never once, never once this man...

"Even the UFC told me, 'Leave him alone. Don't talk with him, he doesn't like to fight people who talk bad to him on the internet. I promise you, he likes to be the one to start the talk and you retaliate. Why do you think Chandler is being so nice to him?
