Conor McGregor will not fight Luke Keeler in an Irish grudge match.
A report suggested a fight was close to being agreed for December 14 in Dublin.
However, Keeler does not expect McGregor to fight.
"There is more chance of him going to prison or rehab than fighting me, but you never know," he told Irish-Boxing.com. "No, seriously, there have been talks but the team decided to focus on a world title fight as it’s close to being agreed. I honestly don’t think he is in any position to fight anytime soon. I'll pick up the world title and he can get himself right. When they both happen there will be more chance of it happening. I'm focusing on my own end of things now."
