MMA fighter Conor McGregor was arrested and interviewed by police on the French island of Corsica.

A statement from the prosecutor's office in the northern town of Bastia to local media says it followed a complaint filed denouncing acts that could be qualified as alleged sexual exhibition and exposure made on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the 32-year-old says he "vigorously denies any accusation of misconduct" and has been "interviewed and released".
