Conor McGregor returned to sparring for the first time in 278 days at the Crumlin Boxing Gym in Dublin yesterday as his UFC comeback edges closer.
Former two-weight world champion McGregor has been back on his feet and hitting pads for weeks after suffering a broken leg during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier last summer. And yesterday he returned to boxing sparring as he ramps up preparation for his return to the octagon.
The Irishman took to the ring at his old boxing gym for his first sparring session since the injury, with a handful of gym members and coaches watching on. He took to Instagram to share photos of the moment, captioning them "my first spar" with a love heart emoji.
