Irish boxer Jono Carroll said he respected his compatriot Conor McGregor for sporting merits, but the fighter’s behavior raises questions.
McGregor is a former UFC champion in two weight classes. The Irishman has won 22 and suffered six losses during his MMA career. In late June, McGregor, 35, was supposed to return to the Octagon after three years, but his fight with American Michael Chandler was canceled.
– McGregor? I don’t want to speak ill of anyone, especially my countrymen. I loved McGregor at the very beginning because he was one of us. But then Conor’s ego grew to enormous proportions. I respect him for his achievements, but he went too far. I would appreciate it more if he was an example for the youngsters. But I don’t want to speak ill of anyone. I really respect what he has achieved in the sport. McGregor has achieved success in a short space of time,” a correspondent from reported Carroll’s comments.
Carroll will fight for the interim WBA super featherweight belt against Russian Albert Batyrgaziev on Friday in Serpukhov, near Moscow. Live broadcast of the tournament “Betting League”. The “IBA Champions Night” will be broadcast on , the broadcast will start at 22:30 Moscow time.
