Connor McGregor’s return to the UFC seems to be getting further and further away. Not only did he surprise us with a supposed boxing match against Logan Paul in India, but there are also advanced talks to face the older brother, Jake Paul, in July or September 2025.
The last time we saw McGregor in a boxing ring was in 2017, when he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather
There is already a precedent between the two in X
We have to go back to 2020, when Jake Paul and Conor McGregor were fighting on social media
Even in 2021, Jake spent up to $100,000 to have a luxurious diamond chain made with a small figure of Conor knocked out.
One of the most memorable incidents happened a few weeks ago, it was after the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake, when the Irishman posted: “They’re looking for Prichard Colon, to be the next opponent,” a comment that upset many users because of the conditions in which the Puerto Rican former boxer finds himself and that McGregor ended up deleting.
We will see how the negotiations progress, but it seems that both are eager and in the ring could be the best place for them to solve their personal problems
Fans are confused
According to ESPN, negotiations are already underway from India, for this fight to take place, which could promise a lot of entertainment
For now, many questions arise, did Logan Paul decide to back out of the exhibition and they went to negotiate with his brother Jake?
In fact, this could be a message that Conor will not return to the octagon, some followers are already messing with McGregor, and calling him finished, in case he accepts this boxing exhibition
“Conor could be bankrupt from all the lawsuits.”
“McGregor must need money, I don’t explain it to myself”:
“This fight would be a big money grab for boxing, but we’ll watch it.”
It was part of the comments that are read on social networks. Only time will tell if this fight should happen or not.
