Conor McGregor recently returned to the UFC’s Octagon with a 40-second drubbing of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Ever since, the MMA community has been debating who he should fight next.<\/p>\n

While all signs point to McGregor competing in another MMA bout soon, however, his manager Audie Attar recently divulged that the Irish star also has his sights set on a world title in boxing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s serious about boxing,\u201d Attar told MMA Fighting<\/a> of McGregor. \u201cHe said it. That\u2019s something that I can tell you, if he says something he has interest in, it\u2019s likely going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

When we talk about McGregor in the boxing ring, the potential opponents that are mentioned most often are Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao and Paulie Malignaggi. Yet Top Rank promoter Bob Arum recently proposed a pair of fights between McGregor and Terrence Crawford: one in boxing, one in MMA.<\/p>\n

Attar seems to believe any of those options are possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely monitor everything,\u201d Attar said. \u201cWe monitor not only fan engagement and interest from the public, but then you look at who\u2019s out there talking what. Because it could be where we have a few different options to weigh and decide on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I saw Floyd, I saw Manny and now Bob Arum, who at one point said, \u2018It\u2019s not a smart idea to crossover.\u2019 He\u2019s a believer now as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Competing in both MMA and boxing will undoubtedly keep McGregor busy, but Attar believes its doable.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes it\u2019s going to be busy, but we welcome that,\u201d Attar said. \u201cWe\u2019re super excited for it. I think we\u2019re all on the same page when it comes to ambition and goals, and so that\u2019s really fun to see when your entire team is in sync.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we all welcome that type of work load. We don\u2019t look at it as pressure. We look at it as opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you interested in seeing Conor McGregor in the boxing ring again?<\/p>\n
