Conor McGregor Seemingly Buries the Hatchet With Tyson Fury But Not Before One Final Burn

Conor McGregor found himself a new Twitter rival as he unloaded on World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury for praising his nemesis Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The Irishman called the Brit a ‘Tw*t’ for not helping Joe Saunders’ father Tom Saunders when security heckled him at the venue of Canelo Alvarez vs. Joe Saunders last year.

Although Fury had some savage replies for the Irishman. McGregor, in one of his latest Tweets, reminded Fury of his position a few years ago with a throwback video. “Conor McGregor is MMA, isn’t he? That said, the rest… I couldn’t name you three more fighters in MMA. I just couldn’t,” fans could hear Fury saying in the video.

“It’s all good, we forget it. Fair play Tyson. God bless ya mate 🙏 #mentalhealthawareness,” McGregor captioned the post.

In an old video, ace pugilist Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury could be seen celebrating Conor McGregor’s comeback win over Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246. Fury was celebrating and cheering for ‘The Notorious’ alongside McGregor’s fiancé Dee Devlin.

The UFC 246 was a wild event as fans were excited about McGregor’s return. McGregor delivered to the fans as he stopped Cerrone in 40 seconds of the first round of their bout. Later, Fury also asked McGregor to make a boxing return after his win.

This is not the only encounter both had before their recent Twitter spat. As McGregor, in 2021, showered praises over Fury after his fight with Deontay Wilder.

“Congrats Tyson and Paris. Me and Dee are so happy for you and the kids. Congrats Deontay and Telli also. Was great meeting you guys recently. A real proud showing that was, and could have went either way. Amazing! Happy Sunday now today with the cheddar and the memory’s God bless,” McGregor Tweeted.
