Conor McGregor gave a tempting challenge for James Degale, offering the former world champion in British boxing a chance for a two -time battle world champion.

The Irish Super -Gwiazda specifically summoned the influence after its debut victory at Bare Knuckle over Matt Floyd. In this unanimous decision, Degale tried to fully adapt to the brutal, incorrect format. At the age of 39, the former IBF and WBA champion showed flashes of his elderly skill, but the fight also emphasized that his best days in a square circle could be behind him.

McGregor two -port world champion

Folded and prepared in an interview after the fight, McGregor said: “How do you feel, James Degale? You are now the most renowned Pugilist in Great Britain.

“Our current world champion at Gołej Knuckle in your weight class is also a former world champion in boxing. There was WBA, and now the reigning two -port dominator, Bare Knuckle World Austin Trout. He is an extremely intriguing duel.”

Degale, however, explained that the naked fight is not in his plans. Speaking of the only and only glove without a glove, he admitted that he saw his future in the boxing ring and is unlikely to continue to continue BK fights again.

The brutal BKFC debut confirms the exit

Even in the victory, his debut at bare osterage emphasized the difficulties with adaptation, which are associated with the transition to an unannounced fight. Floyd, a younger and more busy opponent, tested the strength and precision of the influence, forcing him to adapt in flight. Analysts have noticed that while informed won definitely on the results pages, the fight could be a clear reminder of the physical number of victims and the unpredictable nature of the format – especially for a warrior approaching 40.

The McGregor offer, although it does not materialize yet, is a nod to the constant reputation of the influence in British combat sport. In the face of the trout Austin, a proven two -leaved master, would be a unique opportunity to further strengthen his heritage, although few expect that influence will leave his comfort zone in the near future.

For now, the conversation is more a presentation of opportunities than a realistic announcement of the fight-but an intrigue itself makes fans talk about what can happen if boxing veterans ever immerse their fingers in the world of fighting on bare glue.
