Wanting to Prove Yourself in the Ring, Youtuber Jake Paul Challenges Conor McGregor

– YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul launches his challenge to UFC legend Conor McGregor. The man from the United States claims he is “a better boxer” and challenges McGregor to a fight.

The two martial arts athletes have verbally sparred for years, and the 26-year-old’s final challenge came after McGregor claimed that Nate Diaz would beat Paul in a fight.

Paul, who lost his unbeaten streak after surrendering to Tommy Fury in February, is set to fight Diaz on August 5. However, he has set his sights on a potential fight with McGregor, suggesting they could fight on the same night as Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano in Dublin.

“If you’re not your own boss you’re going to be hiding behind Dana (UFC President Dana White) or just spending the rest of your life,” Paul taunted McGregor on social media. “On August 5th you will see.”

The YouTube sensation and UFC legend often exchange “punches” for words on social media. This revived rumors about their potential fight.

Amanda Serrano, a female boxer from Puerto Rico, has supported the potential fight between the two stars and called for the match to be held in Croke Park, Dublin. Meanwhile, Paul’s promotion company believes his client’s clash with McGregor will make it “the biggest fight event in European history.”

McGregor, who previously fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017, has been out of action since breaking his leg during a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. However, he is reportedly gearing up for a return to the octagon with a potential fight with Michael Chandler.
