YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has used his social media fame to become boxing’s biggest talking point. Moreover, his one-sided rivalry with UFC superstar Conor McGregor has been the highlight of his stint in the sport. And ‘The Problem Child’ has now added to this.
Paul took the sport by storm when he called out the former UFC double champ after his victory over Nate Robinson. Needless to say, McGregor did not acknowledge him. However, that did not stop Paul from repeatedly targeting ‘The Notorious’.

The 3-0 boxer has now taken to Twitter to clap back at McGregor for his tweet. The Irishman criticized the concept of YouTube boxing when he wrote, “UFC high level fighting > Blogger jacka** boxing.” This tweet from McGregor may have explained why he did not entertain any of the call-outs.
