Former two-division boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi has trashed the boxing skills of Conor McGregor. He also claimed that a YouTuber, by the name of AnEsonGib, can easily beat ‘Notorious’ in a boxing match. Malignaggi spoke about this in a recent interview with ‘Lord Ping’.

Conor McGregor and Paul Malignaggi had been rivals for over six years now. It started during a sparring session ahead of the former double champion’s boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. Since then, ‘Paulie’ has taken every chance he gets to take aim at McGregor. Let us see what he had to say.

Paulie Malignaggi claims AnEsonGib can defeat Conor McGregor in a boxing match

‘Magic Man’ spoke about McGregor’s boxing skills and totally undermined the Irishman’s capability in the squared circle. He claimed that ‘Notorious’ doesn’t have what it takes to become a good boxer and that a YouTuber like AnEsonGib will prove to be an enormous obstacle for him. Malignaggi said, “Conor’s boxing skills are so brutal that I think even a YouTuber like AnEsonGib would beat Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.”

AnEsonGib is a British YouTuber who was one of the first social media personalities who started off the influencer boxing scene. He is famously known for fighting Jake Paul in 2020. Malignaggi claims to have worked with the social media star and praised his boxing prowess. He said, “I worked with Gib for his first [fight] last year against Austin McBroom and Gib brings a lot of stress and a lot of pressure.” ‘Magic Man’ added, “At this point, I think he’d even beat up Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.” Let us take a look at how Conor McGregor and Malignaggi developed the bad blood they have between them.

The beef between ‘Notorious’ and Malignaggi

When Conor McGregor was involved in his camp for his fight against Floyd Mayweather, Paulie Malignaggi was his sparring partner. The two had trained together for some time until they had a falling out. The beef between the two fighters started when Conor McGregor posted some footage from their sparring sessions and ‘Magic Man’ took issue with it.

In a few pictures from a sparring session, Paulie Malignaggi appears to be dropped by McGregor, but the American has always claimed he won the fight. He even took to social media to explain what transpired during the training and demanded that the Irishman post the whole video of their 12-round spar.
