Conor McGregor vows to put Dustin Poirier "in a box" while rival lies in hospital bed

Conor McGregor has vowed to put UFC rival Dustin Poirier "in a box" as the pair teased a fourth fight during a social media spat.

The Irishman has been out of action since breaking his leg in his trilogy defeat by Poirier last July, but has been stepping up his training ahead of a planned comeback in 2023. A number of potential opponents have already thrust their names into the spotlight including Michael Chandler and Jorge Masvidal, with the sport's biggest superstar certainly not short of options.

McGregor and Poirier continued their bitter war of words after their trilogy fight was stopped, with many predicting a fourth fight would take place once the Irishman had recovered. 'The Diamond' has toyed with the idea on several occasions before rubbishing it entirely.
