JAKARTA Former UFC champion in three different classes, Conor McGregor insists he already misses boxing. But that wish is not easy to run right away, because he still has problems.

The obstacle is his contract with the UFC, which remains two games. The contract states that McGregor is prohibited from appearing in boxing or MMA matches outside the UFC.

I still want to box and face anyone. Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, KSI, or other names. But if I may choose I want to face KSI, because he is a very famous YouTuber in England," McGregor said as reported by The Sun.

KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, is a famous YouTuber who has changed professions to become a professional boxer. He became even more famous after two fights against YouTuber Logan Paul and one against Tommy Fury.

McGregor himself has played a boxing duel once, namely against Floyd Mayweather Jr. In the fight that was held in Las Vegas on August 26, 2017, McGregor lost to TKO round 10.

At the MMA, McGregor has been absent for a long time. The 35-year-old Irish fighter last appeared against Dustin Poirier in the UFC 264 event in Las Vegas on July 10, 2021. In the duel McGregor lost to TKO round 1, after suffering a fracture to his left ankle.
