Conor challenged the boxing legend

Conor McGregor has issued a challenge to the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao, who retired from professional boxing in 2021. The Irishman insists that the match should be conducted under MMA rules.

"Tell Manny to grow a pair and box me above his weight division. Why not? It's his sport.

If he wants me to drop below my weight, then he must allow me to use more of my weapons. They should allow me to use kicks in that case, take it to the mat. Would that be fair? Tell him. Manny - man or mouse?", – said Conor in a statement to Talk Sport.

Conor also reminded the UFC that he was supposed to return to the octagon in April, but no one has contacted him yet.
