Tony McGregor, the child of an Irish father and English mother, began his life across the Irish Sea in Liverpool, England. But his family split up when he was seven, and Tony was sent to live with relatives in Dublin.

Tony met Mags at 15 years old. They were walking to school, and they crossed paths. A year later, they both landed jobs in a local factory, and a romance sparked. They were married in 1980, when both were 21. Erin was born a year later, and Conor came into the world on July 14, 1988.

Tony and Mags were from the working class, and so they went to work, scraping together money to buy their first small house in Crumlin, a suburb of Dublin. They couldn’t afford a house in the neighborhood in which they’d grown up, so they purchased a two-bedroom house in a different neighborhood. They stayed in Crumlin for 12 years.

As with a hefty percentage of European kids, Conor's first sporting love was football. He was a Manchester United supporter and played for a local club. But there was a boxing gym next to the football club, and it piqued Conor's interest. He would occasionally pop into the boxing gym before and after football practice, but that was the extent of his interest.
