Will McGregor be at the KSI vs Tommy Fury fight?

McGregor could be ringside for the KSI vs Tommy Fury fight. 

His former training partner Danis is fighting on the same card as he takes on Logan Paul ahead of the main event. 

Therefore, he may be at the Manchester Arena to support his friend as he takes to the ring.  

‘Notorious’ was rumoured to be training the former MMA prospect but has since explained why he won't be in his camp. 

"Dillon's gonna win, Dillon will win," McGregor told All Out Fighting.

"You know, he had the baby, we didn't get to train together. So, I don't know the ins and outs. I know he's doing well, he's still training and he's gonna go for it.

"He's had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon's good."

McGregor may not be heavily involved with Danis for the fight, but his interest in the huge event doesn't stop there. 

He has admitted that he will be watching KSI vs Tommy Fury but didn't reveal if it would be ringside or not. 

The Irishman told Seconds Out: "I'm interested to see it, I'm looking forward to watching it. I have my eye on all of them.”

However, he didn't give either boxer any credit ahead of the bout, saying: "They're Nixers to me, yeah. Side hustles, yeah."

Although McGregor has also previously called out KSI, with a potential fight being eyed for the future. 

He stepped into the ring following Anthony Joshua’s win over Robert Helenius and singled out the YouTuber-turned-boxer, calling for a bare-knuckle fight.

So if McGregor does appear at the event, there could be some interesting scenes post-fight.
