Jorge Masvidal is still eager to get the chance to fight Conor McGregor, despite ‘Gamebred’ having concerns the Irishman would take it.

Masvidal announced his retirement from MMA following his loss to Gilbert Burns, but he is set to return to the boxing ring on July 6 against Nate Diaz. After the boxing match, whether or not Masvidal will return to the UFC is uncertain, but ‘Gamebred’ is still interested in the bout with McGregor.

ESPN posted a photo asking fans who they think would have won had Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal fought in 2019.

Taking to the comments, Masvidal responded and seemed to show interest in making the fight happen.

“We can still find out… Too big of a man for that little leprechaun,” Masvidal wrote.

If Masvidal does return to the UFC, a fight against McGregor would be massive. However, the Irishman is focused on his return to the Octagon at UFC 303 on June 29 against Michael Chandler.

This isn’t the first time that Jorge Masvidal has claimed Conor McGregor doesn’t want to fight him.

Back in 2022, Masvidal took aim at McGregor as ‘Gamebred’ says the Irishman didn’t want to fight him which is why the bout never happened.

“Conor doesn’t want the fight,” Masvidal said. “If he did he’d post something, he’d say something. He’d probably just insult my mom or some relative of mine or my nation where I come from. He’ll say something like that but he won’t say anything about a fight or a fight date. So the Conor thing, he just wants it ‘I hope it goes away’ because he really doesn’t want to fight. He doesn’t mention [me] or say anything.

“I think the only thing that makes him want to get out of bed is cocaine. That’s OK, every man has a free will. You do whatever you want. But don’t say you’re a fighter and don’t take cheap shots at me, especially the things that he’s been saying, talking about my legal problems and this and that,” Masvidal continued.

Masvidal is 35-17 in MMA but is on a four-fight losing streak.

“Darren Till will make his pro boxing debut on the Jake Paul x Mike Tyson Netflix card on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,” Helwani posted on X. “His opponent will be Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (53-6-1, 1 NC). Fight will be contested at 190 pounds. Six, three-minute rounds.”

As for Chavez Jr. – the son of former world champion and boxing Hall of Fame icon, Julio Cesar Chavez – has been sidelined for the past three years, taking home a decision win over David Zegarra in Culiacan. 

Earlier this same year, Chavez Jr. took on former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva in Guadalajara, suffering a split decision loss to the mixed martial arts icon over the course of eight rounds.

Over the course of his often-tumultuous professional boxing career, former WBC middleweight champion has landed wins over the likes of Sebastian Zbik, Peter Manfredo Jr., Marco Antonio Rubio, and Andy Lee, and has also taken on compatriot, current gold holder, Canelo Alvarez.

Former UFC fighter Darren Till says he will be boxing soon and plans to box multiple times in 2024.

Till hasn’t fought since December of 2022 when he lost to Dricus Du Plessis and he was released by the promotion, as he asked for it. The Brit wanted to get healthy and turn his attention to boxing, but Mike Perry has claimed Till has turned down a $2 million offer to fight him in BKFC.

Taking to his Instagram, Till shared a video of him hitting he mitts and vowed to batter everyone that has called him out.

“A lot of people been calling me out lately,” he wrote on an Instagram video of him working the mitts. “And I’m going to f*****g batter every last one of yas.”

Back in April, Till was on a podcast and revealed he’s interested in the influencer boxing matches due to how much money they are making.

“Influencers, fighters, it’s going to be a slash,” Till said regarding his future opponents. “If I’m looking at a professional boxing fight and getting paid thirty, forty grand, and then looking at these influencer fights where they’re generating millions? I’m a big name as well. It’s just a no-brainer to take that kind of fights. So, they’re the fights we’re targeting, your Tommy Furys, your Jake Pauls.”

Darren Till still wants Mike Perry fight

Along with boxing influencers, the one fight that Darren Till really wants is to fight Mike Perry.

Till and Perry have taken shots at one another while both were in the UFC, and many fans wanted to see it. But, it never came to fruition. Over the last couple of years, the thought of them fighting has continued and Till says it is a bout that will happen at some point.

“Obviously the biggest fight I want is Mike Perry,” he said. “Me and him are destined to fight. It’s been … six years? [Jorge] Masvidal was talking the other day about fighting me, getting that rematch. On home soil, he said he’d come to Liverpool. So, these are all massive fights, and as soon as I have my first fight announced I’ll be chasing all that.”

Darren Till is currently 18-5-1 in MMA and is on a three-fight losing streak while being 1-5 in his last six fights.
