Conor McGregor remains as confident as ever heading into his Aug. 26 match against Floyd Mayweather.

After Mike Tyson questioned McGregor's boxing abilities in an interview with Pardon My Take, the Irishman delivered this message to the former heavyweight boxing champion Tuesday on Twitter:

Tyson gave McGregor little to no chance of beating Mayweather, saying McGregor "is going to get killed boxing" and "put his dumb ass in a position where he's gonna get knocked out."

McGregor appeared to take another shot at Tyson in an Instagram post:

You are all going to eat your words for the rest of your days, while I eat lobster for the rest of mine.
