Conor McGregor is ready to return to boxing if the UFC doesn’t give him a comeback date soon.

The former dual-weight champion has been sidelined since breaking his leg during a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.

A return fight against Michael Chandler has been booked since February, but UFC CEO Dana White is yet to reveal exactly when and where the lightweight duo will clash.

‘Notorious’ was chomping at the bit to fight again after watching Joseph Parker score a stunning upset win over Deontay Wilder in Saudia Arabia on Saturday night.

“Get me back in there,” McGregor said during a ringside interview with talkSPORT’s Gareth A. Davies post-fight.

“The Mac has lots to offer and loads to deliver.”

McGregor suggested an offer is on the table for him to box eight-weight world champion Manny Pacquaio, who he was supposed to face in 2021 before Poirier knocked him out and derailed the fight.

He added: “They are talking Manny here in Saudi.”

“The lads in the UFC aren’t really talking any. So, the lads here are talking Manny, the UFC aren’t talking any.

“Give me something. I’m supposed to be back in April. It was supposed to be December!”

The 35-year-old is ready to revisit boxing, for the first time since taking on Floyd Mayweather in his professional debut six years ago, after being mistreated by the UFC.

“For all the figures I’ve brought in this game, I sell more than all of them combined,” McGregor concluded.

“No one in the history of the fight game has been treated the way I’ve been getting treated at this minute.

“From what I came through, to what I bring.

“They f****** should open the floodgates for me.

“I’m waiting! And my patience is wearing thin on me waiting.”
