Conor McGregor accepts fight call-out from ex-boxing world champion Carl Froch

UFC legend Conor McGregor has demanded Eddie Hearn puts together a mixed martial arts fight with boxing icon Carl Froch after another Twitter spat between the pair.

McGregor and Froch are two of the biggest stars in their respective sports of MMA and boxing, and have had a number of verbal back-and-forth battles over the last few years. The boxer has taken issue with McGregor and vice versa, and now it appears that a fight between the two could be possible.

After Froch mentioned on his podcast that he would happily get in the cage for a rare crossover fight with the Irishman, McGregor took to social media to demand that Hearn make it happen. The former world champion boxer retired atop the super-middleweight division back in 2014, as McGregors rise was beginning, but has stayed in shape and frequently toys with the idea of a comeback.
