McGregor fell short in his bid to win the IBO world super-bantamweight title when he lost to Erik Robles in July 2023 at Meadowbank.<\/p>\n
A period of rebuilding was required before he was handed his shot at the big time in Saudi Arabia last month.<\/p>\n
“My career has been full of ups and downs and you’ve just got to look at 2024, which was the rebuild for me after a tough 2023,” he explained.<\/p>\n
“So, I wanted to rebuild in 2024 and I think 18 May was the first Fury-Usyk fight. I was fighting in the Hilton Hotel the same night.<\/p>\n
“I came out the ring, ran upstairs to my hotel room, quick shower and I was downstairs and I was watching the big fight on the big screen in the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
“Fast forward to 21 December the same year, I was part of the rematch and it’s just unbelievable, surreal. I took the opportunity with both hands. I won and won well. I feel like I boxed well and I looked good doing it and hopefully I can get myself back out there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
