Although Conor McGregor’s reputation in the MMA world is quite notorious, the Irish UFC star has managed to earn the admiration of Anthony Joshua. McGregor pleasantly surprised AJ by sending him a gift package of his newly-launched Forged Stout.
Despite Dillian Whyte’s absence impacting the appeal of tomorrow’s fight between Joshua and Robert Helenius, the Briton is poised for his ring return with renewed enthusiasm graciously accepting the gift from McGregor.
