Luke Keeler Says UFC's Conor McGregor Agreed to Boxing Fight on the Phone

Irish boxer Luke Keeler has said UFC star Conor McGregor has agreed to fight him.

Keeler called McGregor out on Twitter after video footage emerged from April of McGregor punching a man in a bar in Dublin.

After posting on social media, Keeler has said McGregor contacted him to complain about the call-out and agreed to a showdown, per IrishBoxing.com (h/t Will Griffee of the MailOnline):

"I don't want to get into it too much, but I know he wasn't happy about the call out. He is not happy. The fight community in Ireland is small enough and Crumlin isn't too far from Ballyfermot - and I heard he wasn't happy with the timing of it.
