Conor McGregor Makes Headlines Before, During, and After Anthony Joshua Fight

• Conor McGregor arrived at the O2 Arena in London for the fight with his own private ring girls
• The Notorious gave a post-match interview after the bout and even challenged KSI to fight
• McGregor entered the ring after the fight and gave AJ some of his Forged Irish Stout to drink

Conor McGregor has a way of making headlines, no matter where he is.

The Irish MMA fighter has developed a reputation for making things about himself, even when he isn’t the main attraction.

McGregor did this once again with his antics at the 02 Arena in London where Anthony Joshua was taking on Robert Helenius.

McGregor, who was there to watch the fight, ended up grabbing the limelight for his behaviour before, during and after the bout.

The former two-weight UFC champion first made headlines after he made his entrance into the arena accompanied by private ring girls all wearing Forged Irish Stout attire.

As noted by Give Me Sport, McGregor’s antics didn’t end there as she was seen shadowboxing while the fight was on. The Irishman, who was sitting near the ring, was spotted throwin punches as Joshua fought, and also ducked, dodged and feinted imaginary blows as well.

If any thought he would stop once the fight was over, they were sadly mistaken. Mcgregor got into the ring after AJ’s knockout win, giving the British boxer some of his Forged Irish Stout.

He also then gave his own post-match interview in the ring, for some reason, where he praised Joshua and then called out KSI for a fight as well.

McGregor invited the YouTuber-turned-boxer to fight him in a bare-knuckle bout. KSI has since responded to the call out, finding humour in the situation.

AJ dropped The Nordic Nightmare to the canvas with a powerful right hook for the knockout win, Sports Brief reported.

Joshua was supposed to take on Dillian Whyte originally, but Helenius stepped in as a late replacement after Whyte failed a regulatory test.
