In the world of professional boxing, a cancelled bout can be a major disappointment for fans and fighters as well. Unfortunately, the bout between McGregor and KSI has been called off, After McGregor claimed he is no longer interested in facing his opponent KSI.
The news came as a shock to many, as fans of both fighters were highly optimistic about the outcome of the bout. However, McGregor cited reasons for his decision to withdraw from the match.
He told Mirror Fighting when he was asked, that KSI is set to face Tommy Fury on October 14 in one of the most anticipated boxing bouts of all time. Meanwhile, he is aiming to return to the UFC Octagon against Michael Chandler somewhere next year.
‘Notorious’ must complete six months’ worth of random drug testing with the UFC’s official anti-doping partner, USADA, before he is cleared to fight.
While it’s certainly disappointing for fans who were looking forward to the bout, it’s important to remember that athletes are people too. They have their own lives and priorities outside of sport, and sometimes those things take precedence over a scheduled match.
