UFC star Conor McGregor, who is currently fulfilling his duties outside the steel cage, flaunts his wealth extravagantly. However, his latest gesture might come as a delight to his loyal followers. Renowned MMA fighter, who recently experienced a near-death experience, of late made a humble gesture to the Crumlin Boxing Club. The outspoken Irishman, contrary to his brash nature, quietly donated $1 million to the institution he started his journey from.

The former UFC champion takes pride in his roots and often supports his community’s growth. His latest gesture stems from his pride in his cultural ethos and the reciprocity of the institution’s contribution to his career.

Further details include the vision to make the boxing club one of the best on the planet, as three best coaches also join the old establishment. The coaches Philip, Bra, and Stephen are a larger part of the strategy to help the institution grow at a rapid pace.

Notably, the boxing club shares a special connection with ‘Mystic Mac’. The 34-year-old fighter, who was then a kid of 12, joined the club to regain his confidence and fend off his bullies. From there on, the UFC cash cow started his amateur career and eventually became one of the most charismatic fighters to grace the Octagon.
