Roy Sheahan was declared the Last Man Standing in Dublin last weekend after notching three wins under his belt in the same night.
After his final fight, the newly crowned Last Man Standing made a tongue in cheek call out to none other than Conor McGregor.

Sheahan’s call out was eventually noticed by McGregor and the UFC champion posted a response immediately on social media.

“I accept Roy! No problem mate. No f*cking problem,” responded McGregor on social media.
When speaking to exclusively to Boxing Social post-fight, Sheahan did go into detail about his more realistic future plans.
“I can go on now and have an Irish title fight. Who knows? I could even get a few sponsors now.
“I felt pressure in the final but I knew from the semi-finals and the quarter-finals that I was in the zone.
“I was moving around to my boxing ability like I always do. Everything worked out to plan and I just felt comfortable.”
“I’ll be back in training in a few days but I don’t really know, to be honest,” he said.
A fight against Conor McGregor is unlikely for Sheahan since ‘The Notorious’ has confirmed a UFC comeback for 2018 after fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr back in August last year.
