Conor McGregor has lost his civil jury appeal against a finding that he sexually assaulted a woman.
The Irish fighter had tried to appeal a civil court order to pay £206,000 in damages to Nikita Hand, who accused him of raping her in a Dublin hotel.
McGregor fought the verdict after his lawyers thought his police interrogation should not have been played before the jury and the wording of the ‘issue paper’ given to the jury.

Three judges at the Court of Appeal dismissed McGregor’s appeal on all grounds.
