Former boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi has attacked Conor McGregor again in a series of tweets after walking out on the Irishman’s training camp last week.
After spending more than a week training with McGregor in Las Vegas ahead of his Aug. 26 match with Floyd Mayweather, Malignaggi announced his was leaving the camp after a series of unflattering sparring photos found their way online. One photo, in particular, showed Malignaggi downed on the canvas – but he insists it was from a “push down,” not a knockdown.
Nevertheless, Malignaggi is not happy with how he was “exploited” by the McGregor camp, and he’s firing back hard. Malignaggi said he’s going to reveal additional details about sparring McGregor in the near future, but he’s already sharing some via Twitter:

Paulie Malignaggi said he was not intending to reveal all about the camp before the $500million bout in Las Vegas, the McGregor camp may now be worried he will reveal information from their training before the fight.
He said:
“I won’t speak tactics of his, that I wouldn’t do, I still have some ethics, I’m not Conor, but definitely will give the story straight about stuff.”
Malignaggi previously released a long statement after quitting the camp after two days, confirming his decision and saying he ‘wished team McGregor well.’
