Conor McGregor Delays Media Appearance with Chandler

Conor McGregor postponed Monday’s news conference in Dublin featuring him and Michael Chandler until further notice. McGregor, 35, is scheduled to fight American Chandler at UFC 303 on 29 June in Las Vegas. The Irishman was supposed to face the media alongside 38-year-old Chandler at the 3Arena. Although McGregor did not provide an explanation, he made a statement on X apologising to fans.

“In consultation with the UFC, we cancelled today’s press conference due to a series of obstacles outside of our control. I apologise to my Irish fans, and fans around the world, for the inconvenience and appreciate all your passion and support. I can’t wait to put on the greatest all-time show in the octagon,” he said.

McGregor had been due to conduct several interviews on Sunday but they were also cancelled at short notice. Both Chandler and UFC president Dana White were scheduled to travel from the US to attend the news conference. The UFC announced the fight on 24 May and tickets sold out in fewer than 10 minutes. Conor McGregor, trained by John Kavanagh at SBG Gym, hasn’t fought in Dublin since 2014.

Despite being a former featherweight and lightweight champion, McGregor has fought just four times in the UFC since becoming a two-weight champion in 2016.
