UFC superstar Conor McGregor has donated a whopping £890,000 to his old boxing gym in Ireland.
Irish legend McGregor has also promised to turn Crumlin Boxing Club in Dublin the “best boxing club on the planet”.
According to talkSPORT, the Notorious’ investment will take the place’s facilities’ to a whole new level, starting with two extra floors.
The boxing club posted on TikTok: “Conor McGregor paid to get Crumlin Boxing Club extended making it the Best Boxing Club on the Planet & 3 best Coaches also, Philip, Bra, & Stephen.”
McGregor developed his technique at Crumlin Boxing Club and has frequently returned there to work on his game.
The 34-year-old trained under Phil Sutcliffe while cutting his teeth in MMA.
McGregor has been out of action for almost two years after suffering a horrific leg break against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021.
As of yet, there has been no official confirmation about when the Irish bruiser will return.
UFC president Dana White recently stated he is unsure when his star attraction is coming back after denying an upcoming bout with Michael Chandler.
White said: “I never said that.

“This is what happens when you do interviews and people listen to your interviews.
“They said, ‘So, if Conor McGregor came back right now, who would you be looking at as an opponent?’
“I said, ‘Well, if he did, if that happened, and that scenario played out right now, Chandler would be a fun fight.’
“Never f*****g once did I say Conor McGregor vs Chandler.
“I don’t even know when Conor McGregor’s coming back. And this is why I don’t like to answer these kinds of questions.
“Because some f*****g idiot somewhere on the internet puts out that that’s what I said, and it’s not even remotely close to what I said.”
