Conor McGregor is reportedly set to face Jake Paul in a boxing exhibition in India in 2025. This comes after initial reports suggested McGregor would fight Logan Paul, Jake's older brother.
Conor McGregor could face Jake Paul in 2025 instead of his brother Logan. ESPN reports that the Dubliner is set to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer in July, August or September next year in India. Previously, it was claimed that Logan would be the brother to fight McGregor. Earlier this month, former two-division UFC champion McGregor revealed that he was in talks to fight Jake's older brother.
The 36-year-old denied reports of a fight with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, and instead confirmed there was an agreement for a boxing exhibition, reports The Mirror. McGregor said: 'The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. 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.' Logan did not officially comment on the fight but shared a poster depicting himself and McGregor with a grab of the Irishman's tweet and the eyes emoji. Now it appears that Jake has beaten him to the punch. However, Logan now appears to be at the front and centre of WWE's plans when they move to Netflix next year. 'The Maverick' is to make his return to sports entertainment on January 6 for Monday Night Raw. Jake most recently defeated Mike Tyson in a controversial bout but has a track record of taking on mixed martial artists in the ring. The Problem Child has previously defeated Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Mike Perry. McGregor has not fought since 2021 when he lost to Dustin Poirier in the Octagon after suffering a broken leg. The Notorious has professionally boxed just once when he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2017. Jake previously described McGregor as 'washed' and revealed he would only entertain a fight with the UFC star if Dana White was involved in making it
