Fuming Conor McGregor calls Canelo Alvarez a ‘little ginger sausage’ after boxing superstar’s dig at UFC icon

CONOR MCGREGOR has fumed at Canelo Alvarez and labelled him a “little ginger sausage”.

The latest war of words begun at Katie Taylor’s loss to Chantelle Cameron last weekend.

McGregor was in attendance supporting his fellow Irishman when he was asked about Canelo.

And to no surprise the UFC star was confident he would beat the super middleweight boxer, citing his stance.

McGregor said: “I’m a southpaw, [John] Ryder was a southpaw, Billie Joe [Saunders] was a southpaw.

“I’ve seen methods, I’ve seen things I’d do and I know he’s waining.

“I’d fight Canelo no f*****g problem. No problem.

The 32-year-old beat Saunders in 2021 and defeated Ryder in is last fight earlier this month to retain his world titles.

He was asked about McGregor’s comments at an unveiling of his figure at a wax museum in Mexico City.

Canelo replied: “The truth is I haven’t seen what he said because I don’t have my social networks on my phone right now, but I’ll beat him with one hand behind my back.”

McGregor swiftly retaliated, posting online: “Canelo you little ginger sausage. I’d beat you with NO HANDS. Don’t forget.”

Promoter Eddie Hearn could be key to a bout between the two as he may have to co-promote.

But any

The MMA ace has not fought since breaking his leg versus Dustin Poirier in 2021.

But he is ready for a comeback with a clash against Micheal Chandler in the works, which could take place later this year.
