Katie Taylor doesn’t believe Conor McGregor gets the respect he deserves in Ireland and made her opinions known in a recent appearance on ‘The MMA Hour’: “I messaged him after the Dustin Poirier fight, just to offer some words of encouragement really,” Taylor said (h/t MMAFighting). “He’s always been a fantastic support to me, but I think he’s just someone who’s actually transcended the sport. He’s like, for me, the Muhammad Ali of the UFC. He’s just a fantastic athlete. A great businessman as well. But what he’s done in the sport and the UFC has been absolutely incredible, and I don’t think he’s celebrated as much as he should be here in Ireland. I think he is an absolute global superstar and just a phenomenal athlete, and he’s always been a complete gentleman towards me.”

While Anthony Joshua’s title defense opposite the massive underdog Andy Ruiz is dominating the attention of most boxing fans at present, that’s not the only title fight on the docket this weekend. Irish champ Katie Taylor is also set to compete, as she looks to become a unified champ opposite experienced Belgian boxer Delfine Persoon. And as this fight draws ever closer, she’s got the full support of former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor. Taylor and McGregor got acquainted in late 2018, when McGregor attended the boxing champ’s fight against Cindy Serrano. The pair of Irish fighters now seem to be good friends, and McGregor has wished Taylor well ahead of her fight this weekend.
