John Kavanagh, the coach of MMA star Conor McGregor, has announced the ;launch of free self-defence classes for women in the wake of the recent murder of Jastine Valdez. 

Taking place every Saturday morning in Straight Blast Gym in Walkinstown, the initiative aims to give women a "fighting chance" should they ever come under attack. 

The trainer shared the news on social media in a post which reads: "Introducing a FREE women's only BJJ Self Defence class at HQ starting this Saturday 11am.

"This will be on-going and on at the same time every Saturday. Don't worry if you miss this weekend, you can start any time.

"Feel free to drop in and watch one if you're considering taking it up. Also this class is free to any girls from any other clubs that want to supplement their training.

"In light of recent horrific attack in Dublin by a deranged individual we feel the need to do something to give women a fighting chance.

"Come down and meet Jaqueline and see if you enjoy it."

We all know John Kavanagh as the man who coached Conor Mcgregor to UFC fame.

He's also the older brother of Snapchat star, James Kavanagh.

However, one woman believed he was the owner of J.J. Kavanagh bus services, and decided to email him about coach times.

A woman called Áine messaged the MMA coach on Facebook, asking for very specific time tables:

Understandably, John has an automated response because of all the McGregor questions he receives, and it wasn't until that automated message came through that Áine realised her mistake.

John noticed her message however, and had to reply:

Brilliant. We wonder if anyone else has ever made this mistake!

Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather's fight has been highly anticipated all year now.

However, nobody really knows if it's going to go ahead or not.

There has been varying opinions from both sides, and with the UFC getting involved too, nobody really knows who to listen to anymore.

Conor's coach, John Kavanagh, seemed to clear a few things up this morning, with many news outlets reporting that Conor and Floyd are going to announce their big-money fight next week.

Coach Kavanagh wrote on Twitter this morning: "Finally the news is confirmed. Conor v Mayweather. Let's do this!"

But, it's April Fool's Day… so, do we believe him?

A source told the Irish Sun, "Both sides have agreed a fee, date and venue.  It's all ready to be announced early next week."

We'll let the day pass before we believe anything!
