Conor McGregor and Tyson Fury engage in an ugly spat on Twitter as the situation escalates
Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and former UFC double champ Conor McGregor had some choice words for each other in an epic Twitter clash.
The ‘Gypsy King’ and the ‘Notorious’ are both known for their prompt responses and confident mic skills. Fury had praised Khabib’s legacy, suggesting that the Russian did it the best and left the sport when he was on top. This did not sit well with McGregor, who has a long history of unsettled dispute with Khabib.
Even while he tried to cool off the situation, McGregor did not miss out on an opportunity to take another dig at ‘The Gypsy King’
Tyson Fury recently praised Khabib Nurmagomedov for his dominant career which was later acknowledged by ‘The Eagle’
It is no surprise that Tyson Fury is the latest in the list of boxers who have turned into MMA fans. ‘The Gypsy King’ also most recently expressed his interest in boxing the UFC heavyweight champ and congratulated him on his title defense against Ciryl Gane.
Fans of combat sports were delighted to see the respect and admiration he showed to Khabib in a recent post in which he wrote “This man did it right. Got in and won and got out on top.”
Khabib had openly praised ‘The Gypsy King’ several times in the past and also picked him as the pound for pound best boxer currently. Being recognized by him must have meant a great deal to him, which he made clear by reposting his Instagram story and captioning ‘Real recognize real’ on a later post.
