“Conor McGregor just rang him and said ‘is there anyone out there, in Ireland, that is able to come down to Dublin and sort of has the same style as Mayweather?’ Conor had no hesitation to say my name, and his [McGregor’s] manager got in contact with me and I couldn’t turn it down.”Modest as ever, Bradley admitted that he is no way on the same level as arguably the greatest defensive boxer ever, but he feels he has "qualities like Mayweather". https://www.instagram.com/p/BV5FUWNlpr-/?taken-by=tiernanbradley1 Former two-weight world champion Paulie Malignaggi also confirmed to MMA Micks that he will spar with McGregor once the camp moves stateside. Malignaggi held the IBF junior welterweight title from 2007 to 2008, and the WBA welterweight from 2007 to 2008. He ended his 16-year career as a professional pugilist earlier this year after being knocked out by Sam Egginton in a WBC International welterweight title fight.
