Conor McGregor made formal offer to fight for boxing world title as talks begin

Boxing world champion Dennis Hogan has reached out to fellow countryman Conor McGregor to kickstart talks over a potential title clash.

McGregor has not competed since breaking his leg in his UFC trilogy clash with Dustin Poirier last July. The Irishman has fought just once in the ring in a lucrative bout with Floyd Mayweather in 2017 when he was stopped in the tenth round.

He has since teased a return to the squared circle in the future with footage from his training showing his love for boxing as he continues his rehabilitation from injury. Current IBO light-middleweight 'world' champion Hogan recently picked up the world title belt with victory over Sam Eggington, and talked up an unlikely shot at the global superstar.
