Conor McGregor claims a pound-for-pound boxing star turned down the opportunity to fight him.
McGregor is no stranger to crossover fights having fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017 but it appears Terence Crawford is not so keen to step into the Octagon against the Irishman.
Appearing on a livestream for Duelbits, McGregor said: “Crawford is very slick, he also has a wrestling background pedigree.

“You know they’re always talking to me about bouts.
“I’ve already boxed a boxer, and the best boxer in MMA is me. You know what I mean? I generate the most.
“We were talking back and forth about a two-fight deal. He rings up Crawford in front of me the day after the fights.
“I get on the phone and say ‘Crawford, they’re here talking about you and me [fighting]. Two-fight deal, MMA first, boxing second.
“I know you have an extensive wrestling background, and balls the size of a Bengal tiger. They’re asking for a fight, it’ll be hundreds of millions on the line.
“‘What’s up?’, I said and then he goes, ‘I don’t fancy taking a kick off Conor McGregor’, that’s what he said. You have to respect that.”
