“Me Being Bigger in the Sport Than He Is”- Conor McGregor Accused of Ducking Jake Paul Fight as Controversial Boxer Throws Shade at Irish UFC Star’s Stardom

The controversial YouTuber-tuned-boxer Jake Paul has taken yet another dig at Conor McGregor. He accused the former UFC simultaneous two-division champion of avoiding a boxing match against him. Not only that but ‘The Problem Child’ also made a wild comparison between his and McGregor’s stardom in the world of combat sports.

Jake Paul has carved out an interesting career in boxing. Starting off fighting some of his fellow YouTube stars, the 26-year-old found himself fighting some of the most iconic MMA fighters in the squared circle. Similarly, Paul believes that he will dominate Conor McGregor like other UFC stars when it comes to boxing. Let’s see what he had to say.

Jake Paul thinks Conor McGregor will not fight him in a boxing match

‘The Problem Child’ recently appeared in a ‘Finish the Sentence’ video posted on ‘DAZN Boxing’s YouTube channel to promote his upcoming fight against Andre August. There, one of the sentences he had to complete was to give his thoughts on how a boxing match against Conor McGregor would go down. Apart from the fact that Jake Paul thinks it will be a big fight, he appeared to be confident about the fact that he would defeat the Irishman if they ever locked horns inside the squared circle.

“A fight between me and McGregor would be pretty f***ing massive and entertaining and fun,” said Jake Paul. However, he doesn’t think that Conor McGregor would accept to fight him. Paul added, “I would beat his a**. He won’t fight me.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer even went as far as to throw shade at ‘The Notorious’s popularity in the combat sports world.

There is no doubt that people do talk about Jake Paul and his venture into boxing. This has led ‘The Problem Child’ to believe that he has overtaken Conor McGregor in terms of popularity in combat sports, especially boxing. He said, “At this point, it’s funny how it went from me calling him out to that seeming crazy to now me being bigger in the sport than he is.”

Jake Paul even went on to claim that he possesses superior boxing skills compared to Conor McGregor, who once went toe-to-toe against arguably the greatest boxer of all time, Floyd Mayweather. “Him knowing my skill level is greater than his in such a short amount of time, life’s crazy,” the 26-year-old added.

It will be interesting to see how Conor McGregor reacts to these statements from Jake Paul. But there is little chance that this fight will happen anytime soon. Besides, McGregor is now looking forward to his UFC comeback after entering the USADA’s testing pool. Meanwhile, Paul is gearing up for a fight against yet another professional boxer who has more knockouts than him.
