Chisora, 39, is a friend and training partner of KSI’s and asked the UFC legend when the two will fight.
McGregor responded: “Tomorrow, if he’s here tonight! We’re fighting him on the same card. We’re on the same card in March.”
The Irishman’s embrace with Chisora came on the night Tyson Fury, 35, controversially beat ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37 on points.
McGregor, 35, has boxed only once before, losing to American great Floyd Mayweather, 46, in ten rounds.
The money-spinning spectacle kickstarted the new age of crossover fights including boxers, MMA stars and social media influencers.
KSI, 30, is a pioneer of the YouTube boxing scene and suffered his first loss in October, against Fury’s younger brother Tommy, 24.
Mid-way through the fight, McGregor posted: “Ya know what. Me and KSI is an exciting fight.
“A juicy nixer I used to call them back when I was a plumber now I’m on the lambo yacht he’s in a huracan.”

KSI has appealed his disputed points loss but announced he will take time out from boxing while McGregor was called out by Tommy.
Tommy told Fight Hub TV: “I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor, and if Conor wants it next, I’ll 100 per cent share the ring with him.
“I’m a fan of Conor McGregor. I like him. He’s a good man who got me into UFC.
“If he wants to share the ring, my hand is there, the offer is there. I’ll have Conor next.”
