Conor McGregor on Darren Till v Yoel Romero: 'The first bare-knuckle spar I'd ever seen'

The BKFC co-owner said at the BKFC Glasgow press conference that he was "disgusted" by the fight, and that UK champion Sean Weir "wants a world title", not a name like Till.

Conor McGregor has called Darren Till's win over Yoel Romero "celebrity f***ing white-collar boxing" and said he was "disgusted by it".

The BKFC co-owner turned on Till at the press conference after BKFC 96 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, while he was praising Sean Weir, the promotion's UK champion.

"He got offered a name in Darren Till. The f*** would he want a name for? He wants a world title," McGregor said. "We are in this business for world title honours, not for f***ing celebrity, celebrity f***ing white-collar boxing, which is what the last one was."

"A spar. It's the first bare-knuckle spar I'd ever seen. Little handshakes and the side of the head. I was disgusted by it," he added.

Till beat Romero at BKFC 94 on 26 September and has one fight left on his BKFC deal. McGregor co-owns the promotion with BKFC president David Feldman, who has said big-name opponents are being lined up for Till and that BKFC has "definitely been talking to Team Fury a lot".

At the same press conference, McGregor said fighters get a "1% sponsor" and vowed to change that at BKFC.
