Conor McGregor Promoted his Brand After Anthony Joshua's KO Victory in Joshua vs Helenius Bout
Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight champion, exhibited a spectacular performance at London's O2 Arena in Joshua vs Helenius, silencing critics with a one-punch knockout against Robert Helenius. While the initial rounds saw Joshua being cautious, the explosive finish marked his return to form after nearly three years without a stoppage win. McGregor, the MMA legend, was present at the arena, promoting his brand 'Forged Irish Stout'. Following Joshua's win, McGregor entered the ring, offering the champion a celebratory drink. He lauded Joshua's tactics, emphasizing the importance of patience in achieving greatness. The MMA superstar further appreciated Helenius's brave performance, especially since he was a last-minute replacement.
"Greatness don't rush. Joshua took his time, he landed a big heavy shot, I'm just happy Helenius got up. The fans should be grateful for the Finnish coming in, last minute replacement, no fear he gave a great performance, did himself proud and his team and I'm happy to see him get up. "Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie, big congrats Forged Irish Stout."Adding to the evening's drama, McGregor unexpectedly challenged YouTuber KSI to a bare-knuckle boxing match, making a light-hearted jibe at KSI's boxing skills.
"I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn't box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory. So if he wants to get in here I'll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want!"KSI didn't shy away, responding on social media with humor and hinting at a possible matchup. Joshua, meanwhile, supported KSI, demonstrating camaraderie between the two.
"Good KO from AJ, shame Connor got him to drink that filth kmt [kiss my teeth]. Lmao [Laughing my a** off] just seen this. Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Connor on my d*** already and I didn’t even have to fight an MMA fighter."AJ Replied to Conor Calling KSI a "b***ch":
"That's my guy!"KSI's manager has confirmed the YouTuber has accepted McGregor's challenge:
"After KSI batters Fury, he’s coming to end Connor once and for all!"
