The former 2-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has one professional boxing fight under his belt against arguably the greatest boxer of all time in Floyd Mayweather.
The ‘Notorious’ one was stopped in the 10th round of the fight via TKO. Maybe that record has given YouTuber Jake Paul the confidence to call out McGregor.

The adrenaline rush from knocking someone out on a big stage is so crazy you immediately jump to challenging Conor McGregor after beating Nate Robinson

Jake Paul being very gracious in victory. No trash talk towards to Robinson.
Paul says he is interested in “Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis” next, says he’d knock both out.

It’s needless to say that fight fans haven’t let Jake Paul get off easy after his ridiculous claims of knocking out one of the best strikers in MMA history. That too, after beating an ex-NBA player who looked totally out of sorts in the boxing ring.

McGregor’s only boxing fight was a loss for the Irishman, but that was against Floyd Mayweather. That might have deceived Paul into thinking that McGregor is bad at boxing.
To be honest, though, it will be nothing less than an assault against Jake Paul if the fight ever happens. However, the chances of such a fight ever materializing are slim to none. What do you think of Jake Paul’s hilarious comments? Let us know in the comments down below.
