Unbeaten world champion boxer Terence Crawford has roasted UFC fighter Conor McGregor in a viral video published on Monday.
McGregor makes his boxing debut when he takes on Floyd Mayweather on August 26.
Few are giving McGregor much of a chance, with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson expecting the Irishman to “look ridiculous.“
Both fighters opened the doors to their respective camps for a media workout on August 11.
McGregor’s warm-up routine has been under the spotlight ever since. The Mirror said it was “very weird,” while renowned boxing YouTube channel iFL TV branded it “bizarre.“

The rubber-armed warm-up has been parodied by WBC and WBA light welterweight champion Crawford, who roasted McGregor in a viral video published on his official Facebook page. Crawford is in the white vest on the left.
The warm-up may not be as ridiculous as it looks. McGregor, after all, may just be preparing for the way he’s going to walk to the T-Mobile Arena ring in Las Vegas on August 26.
