Conor McGregor ready for Celebrity Boxing match with UFC legend Mark Coleman: ‘Challenge accepted’

Conor McGregor is ready to make his return to the squared circle against UFC legend Mark ‘The Hammer’ Coleman.

Coleman, 58, recently announced that he would be coming out of retirement to compete in a boxing match under the Celebrity Boxing banner. No other details have been provided, but ‘The Hammer’ is expected to strap on the 10-ounce gloves on October 14. The promotion is still seeking a celebrity opponent for Coleman, but they won’t have to look too hard as one of the biggest names in combat sports history has already thrown their name into the hat.
