Prior to a Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match, two-time boxing champion Paul Malignaggi made headlines as he and Conor McGregor<\/a> were involved in a bitter war of words. <\/p>\n

After the Mayweather-McGregor fight was finalized, Malignaggi revealed via MMAFighting<\/a> that he had actually been called upon to help McGregor prepare for the fight with Mayweather:<\/p>\n

\u201cI did get called to go to camp with Conor McGregor. I was surprised [since] I haven\u2019t really been training, I haven\u2019t been in the gym, so I started working out a little bit. I\u2019m working out the details to spar with McGregor. If it\u2019s something that\u2019s going to be feasible, I think it\u2019ll be cool because I think I\u2019ll have some inside stuff to talk about on fight night.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, a photo has emerged from McGregor’s training camp of himself sparring with Malignaggi ahead of the fight:<\/p>\n
