Conor McGregor tweeted his surprising views of Carl Froch on Saturday evening

Froch responded vowing to ‘show’ McGregor ‘how the big boys do it’

Conor McGregor has slammed Carl Froch on Twitter, threatening the ex-boxer in a post

Froch, a previous boxing world champion, called out McGregor’s lack of punching ability in the past. A view that may have caused the latest feud.

The dig was made by McGregor while Froch is working in the Sky Sports Box Office studio for Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

The Nottingham-born boxer-turned-pundit later responded with his own body blow, saying: ‘Who is this mouthy little p**** talking to? I will drag you outside with that wispy beard & show you how the big boys do it!!’

McGregor is a controversial figure and has been involved in numerous high-profile twitter wars in the past, notably with heavyweight world boxing champion Tyson Fury.

In that exchange McGregor lashed out at Fury, this time branding the Gypsy King as a ‘Versace t***’. Fury responded by calling the outspoken fighter a ‘bully’.

McGregor has crossed the void to compete in the boxing ring during his title-laden career in the Octagon and has expressed his desire to return for another bout.

He previously suffered defeat in his only professional boxing match against former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
