We may not have seen the last of Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.

McGregor, who lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his professional boxing debut in 2017, left open the possibility of a future match in an interview with Adam Caparell of Complex.

"Never say never, but right now I'm focusing on my family, MMA training, Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey, and several other business ventures. I will surely box again, but timing is not determined by me now," he said.

By the sounds of it, McGregor will have no shortage of potential opponents if he does decide to return to boxing.

"We get requests and offers every week, as everyone would love a 'red panty' night with me so they can line their pockets with cash," he said. "For me, I already have the money, so we fight now for the love of the game. Money is important but not the key driver for me."
