Conor McGregor is eyeing up a clash with KSI, as the UFC star claims it would be an “exciting” fight with the YouTuber.

After much anticipation, KSI and Tommy Fury finally went toe-to-toe in the boxing ring on October 14. Aiming to do what Jake Paul couldn’t and KO his opponent, the fight would ultimately go Fury’s way, taking the win via a majority decision.

While KSI is set to appeal the decision in hopes of having his first loss reversed, Conor McGregor is now eyeing up a clash with the YouTuber, calling a potential fight “exciting.”
