Fury was a guest on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show on ESPN Radio on Saturday night before attending UFC 246 in Las Vegas. The conversation turned to McGregor's potential return to the world of boxing. McGregor, who trained as a boxer before moving into mixed martial arts, lost by a 10th-round TKO to Floyd Mayweather in August 2017 and has spoken of both a potential rematch against Mayweather, as well as a fight against Manny Pacquiao.
"If he wants to be a boxer, if he wants to do boxing, do it," Fury said. "I thought he'd done quite well against Floyd Mayweather. He'd done as good as anybody else has done, really. He was catching Mayweather with some good shots.
