After Tyson fight, Conor McGregor next to take on Paul brother
Weeks after younger brother Jake Paul defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in a controversial bout streamed exclusively on Netflix, older brother Jake Paul is now climbing back into the squared circle to take on MMA legend Conor McGregor.
Here’s everything we know about the fight right now.
Conor McGregor, 22-6 in the UFC and looking to put his legal woes behind him, confirmed in a post on social media platform X that he intends to fight Logan Paul next.
“The rumors of a bout with [Ilia Topuria] are false,” read Conor McGregor’s post on X. “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
While McGregor is a formidable mixed martial arts fighter, he has only fought once in a boxing exhibition, and that was in 2017 when he lost by TKO to pound-for-pound boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Logan Paul has fought in four exhibition boxing matches, including a non-judged eight-round exhibition against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2021.
Logan Paul is better known as a YouTube influencer and wrester, winning the WWE U.S. Championship last year.
Conor McGregor didn’t specify when his boxing match against Logan Paul would take place, only that it would occur in India.
Logan Paul hasn’t referenced nor confirmed the fight on his social media platforms.
