CONOR MCGREGOR has been blasted by KSI for snubbing a lucrative boxing match on Alcatraz.
The UFC icon was on course to throw down with the social media sensation in a crossover match on the former American prison Island.
The shock showdown was seemingly trending in the right direction before former two-weight world champion McGregor walked away from the deal.
And KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – has appeared to have given up hope of ever sharing the ring with The Notorious.
During an appearance on Misfits Boxing’s YouTube Channel, he said: “We had a fight set up and Conor said no.
“I don’t know, it could be money, it could be his mindset [or] it could be a lot of reasons.
“Honestly, I don’t think he knows what he’s going to be doing the next day. He’s all over the place.
“One minute, he wants to be the prime minister of Ireland, the next he wants to do a random side quest.
“Who cares. It is what it is. But let him do his thing. It is what it is. I’m going to just move on and do me.”;;
, 36, claimed he pulled the plug on a bout with the YouTuber as the offer on the table didn’t reflect his “worth”;;.
The Irishman said: ”;; There was an opportunity, or should we say a deal, to fight on Alcatraz recently in June.
“And they came to me, and it wasn’t my worth. As a fighter, we have to know our worth.
“I hold every pay-per-view record in the book. I hold every gate record in the book.”;;
McGregor hasn’t fought since nearly four years ago.
He was set to return to the cage last June in a long-overdue showdown with but pulled out of the bout with a broken left pinky toe.
The Irishman recently pleaded with UFC supremo to get the ball rolling on his comeback.
But the veteran promoter has poured cold water on the prospect of Mystic Mac fighting in the near future.
The 55-year-old said: “He’s not fighting anytime soon. I haven’t talked to him in a minute.
“But yeah, I don’t know when [he’ll fight again].”;;
If McGregor does ever fight again, his next outing will be his first since being found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin Hotel in December 2018.
The former two-division champion appealed the verdict returned at Dublin’s High Court last November.
He hopes the introduction of new evidence will overturn the result of the civil trial.
