Conor McGregor UFC news: Notorious goes back to his roots at Crumlin Boxing Club

Conor McGregor took a trip down memory lane at Crumlin Boxing Club on Wednesday.

The UFC superstar went back to where he first put on a pair of gloves as a 12-year-old and discovered a passion for the fight game.

He turned up this time in a dapper blazer and white shirt but quickly got into a tracksuit to hit the ring.

McGregor, who turned to mixed martial arts in his teens, did a training session on the pads as a group of youngsters watched on from the ropes.

The Notorious has been back in Dublin for the past number of weeks having spent a few months in America with his partner Dee Devlin and their young children Conor Junior and Croia.
