Logan Paul, who once labelled Conor McGregor a "horrible boxer", may now have the opportunity to prove his point. McGregor recently announced on social media that he has agreed to an exhibition match with the YouTuber, temporarily stepping away from his UFC career. "The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false.
I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon," McGregor stated.
Paul has yet to respond to McGregor's announcement, but he previously criticised the Irish fighter ahead of his match with Dillon Danis, McGregor's former teammate. "Conor McGregor is an average MMA fighter and a horrible boxer," Paul asserted. "I'm going to beat the s*** out of his b**** Dillon and then I'm going beat the s*** out of him." He also mocked McGregor for not taking a bet on Danis, reports the Mirror US.
