‘Conor McGregor is not the bravest and has no character’, says ex-sparring partner

“What I noticed about Conor wasn’t so much his ability or inability to take a punch, what I noticed about Conor’s character was he's not the bravest guy one you’re beating him up.”

Paulie Malignaggi, who walked out of Conor McGregor’s training camp, has called the Dubliner “not the bravest guy”, writes Stephen Barry.

The former two-weight world champion was insulted by a video clip released which showed McGregor knocking him to the canvas, something Malignaggi called a push.
