McGregor can be seen boxing in the video as he continues to step up his recovery with a view to a UFC comeback next year. Despite having accumulated huge wealth last year, McGregor fell in the Forbes rankings for 2022 which was largely down to the majority stake sale of in Proper 12 whiskey to Proximo Spirits for around €140m.

The Irishman usually banks around £20m for his fights with an extra £5m generated for pay-per-view sales from the events. McGregor regularly flaunts his wealth buying a whole host of plush gifts including his new custom-made Lamborghini yacht worth around €3.16m.

He has also been travelling around the world this summer to a host of exotic European destinations including Monaco and Ibiza. McGregor also explored the possibility of acquiring a football club this year, when he suggested he would have the wealth available to buy Chelsea FC which was eventually sold to American investor Todd Boehly for a value believed to be around €5billion.

McGregor's biggest payday came in a money-spinning crossover boxing match with legend Floyd Mayweathe in 2017. It is anticipated he earned around €94m from the huge revenue the fight generated despite being stopped in the tenth round.

The Irish star also earns around €19m a year in endorsements irrespective of his fighting action including with brand TIDL Sport and other social media earnings. McGregor is now eyeing a comeback at 170lb which is expected to be delayed until next year after suffering a set back during his rehabilitation.

And the 33-year-old called out a whole host of champions from the UFC in his latest return claim, tweeting: "So we’ve got the 170lb Jamaican British Leon. We’ve got the 185lb Nigerian New Zealander, The Stylebender Izzy, and we’ve got the Czech Samurai, Jiří Procházka. Give me a bell I’ll be out at sea for the next what, 40 seconds then I’m back. Quick rip. Call me anytime - Heavy shoulders."
