McGregor is open to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury and picks the top pick

CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to the fight against Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury – by dubbing the trio ‘NERDS’.

McGregor has been called out by all three boxing stars, but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover fights.

But now it seems he has had a change of heart when asked to return to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight.

He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah, you know, the YouTube nerds might say, I would consider that a nixer.

‘Your uncle’s friend needs a radiator in his house, so you take on a part-time job and get some extra income.

“I would consider them nixers. If I had to pick one I would say KSI, he has a big name in the UK”

The term “nixer” is Irish slang for a side job.

And McGregor put his MMA career aside in 2017 to switch to boxing and take on American icon Floyd Mayweather, who lost in ten rounds.

But due to his current UFC contract – which still has two fights remaining – the Irishman is banned from switching boxing again.

Although that has not stopped Paul – who returns against 57-year-old Mike Tyson on July 20 – from continuing to abuse McGregor.

Meanwhile, Fury – who has defeated both Paul and KSI – became the latest to challenge the MMA great following news of Tyson’s shock comeback.

And McGregor, 35, said in response: “The Pauls – that Tyson fight is just strange to me, I hope Tyson takes his nose off.

‘I don’t think we both know,’ admits Conor McGregor on the future of the UFC after ‘lack of transparency’ over return fight

‘I’m sure, at some point [I’ll end up fighting one of them]I’m sure, at some point. You know, we’ll go through all these guys.

“Fury called me yesterday, and he beat Jake and fought KSI, so it’s like a different little world, right?”

McGregor has yet to fight since July 2021, when he broke his leg in the early rounds of his fight with 35-year-old Dustin Poirier.

But he remains linked with a return against 37-year-old Michael Chandler despite growing frustrated as talks drag on.

And now McGregor has further teased another attempt at boxing as he concluded: ‘I’m open to it. I will never say no, I will never say no.”
