Conor McGregor has slammed "sausage" Canelo Alvarez after the Mexican claimed he could beat the UFC star with one hand tied behind his back.
McGregor currently has two fights remaining on his deal with the UFC and will return this year in a planned showdown with Michael Chandler. Despite his pedigree in the MMA ranks, the Irishman has also fought in the boxing ring in 2017 against Floyd Mayweather and has regularly teased a return to the squared circle.
Last week the UFC star attended Katie Taylor's defeat to Chantelle Cameron in Dublin, during which he called out current undisputed 168lb champion Alvarez to a boxing showdown. He said: "I saw [John] Ryder, I'm a southpaw, Ryder was a southpaw, Billy Joe [Saunders] was a southpaw, I've seen methods, I've seen things I'd do. I know he's waning, I'd fight Canelo no f****g problem. Out straight. No problem."
