Conor McGregor warned he must forget boxing dream to return to top in UFC

Conor McGregor has been told to forget about returning to the ring and focus on making a successful comeback in the UFC.

The UFC superstar has been out of action since breaking his leg in a second consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier last July but has been documenting his return to training as he eyes a comeback next year. During his time out of competition, McGregor has been linked to several high-profile fights including a rematch against Floyd Mayweather.

McGregor has stated it is his ambition to return to the boxing ring and to become world champion in the sport, despite having two fights remaining on his deal with the UFC. Although the 34-year-old has suggested he could compete in both sports and be successful, UFC heavyweight Andrei Arlovski has used his own experiences to suggest that fighting in two separate disciplines doesn't work.
