After AJ knocked out Robert Helenius in August, McGregor challenged YouTuber KSI to a bare-knuckle brawl.

After winning, Joshua walked around the ring and ran into KSI and McGregor.

Additionally, McGregor was caught cursing at KSI before AJ stepped in to defend his “guy.”

“I went around the ring and I bumped into Conor McGregor on my victory lap,” the 33-year-old Joshua is now telling Misfits Boxing.

“He’s a personality, he’s a very big character, so I stopped off, we spoke, I had a sip of stout and I was on my way, so respect to him.”

“I had no idea what this beef was about, and I know KSI, so I wasn’t going to be like, ‘Yeah,  KSI,'” AJ went on.

“I know KSI so I’m not going to start throwing slurs at him, that’s my guy, so what’s going on.”

Immediately following Joshua’s knockout victory, McGregor, 35, unexpectedly called out KSI, 30, while making fun of his fighting prowess in the arena.

He stated: “I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.”I’ll give him one last yoke, bare-knuckled if you want, if he wants to enter.”

After his rematch with 24-year-old Tommy Fury in Manchester on October 14, KSI has his sights set on McGregor.

“Look, after Tommy Fury, I might entertain a fight with Conor McGregor,” he stated on talkSPORT. You never know with me. You never know.
