Conor McGregor poses for photos with kids in Crumlin

Conor McGregor was happy to pose for photos with kids in Crumlin as he returns to fighting shape.

McGregor is still out of UFC action since his horror leg break but there is optimism he will be back early next year.

And McGregor is brushing up on some of his boxing skills and stopped by to Crumlin Boxing club.

The Dubliner was happy to pose for photos as he went through a sparring session.

Taking to Instagram, McGregor shared a post with a number of snaps and said: "Boxing for the kids @crumlinboxingclubofficial"

The Dubliner is set to star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in a remake of 1980's classic Road House and will have filming obligations before returning to competitive action.

It is unsure who McGregor will fight next and at what weight but it seems unlikely he will challenge for a title straight away.

And with rival Dustin Poirier tied up with a bout later this year McGregor may coax Nate Diaz back to the UFC but an announcement is expected later this year.
