Conor McGregor looks set to return to the boxing ring following his 2017 loss to Floyd Mayweather.
The former UFC Champion stepped out of the octagon and into the ring eight years ago to co-star in one of the most financially successful bouts in history. McGregor was outboxed and stopped by Mayweather in ten rounds.
He has since returned to MMA but failed to find the form he was once so famous for. Having not fought since 2021 – a stoppage loss to Dustin Poirier after suffering a horror leg break – he appears to have turned his attention back to boxing.
Following rumours that the billionaire Ambani family in India were in talks to stage McGregor versus Logan Paul, the Irishman has repeatedly hinted towards the fight being made. Most recently, he posted a message on X, formerly Twitter, to say ‘I’m coming’ alongside a picture of Paul.
Logan is the older brother of Jake Paul, who is much more known in boxing circles, particularly after his last controversial bout against Mike Tyson. Jake has been chasing the McGregor fight for some time, and may still get it in future depending on the showing against his brother.
Logan – who has twice fought UK content creator, businessman and boxer KSI – has had an unscored exhibition with Mayweather. He has since became a household name in the professional wrestling promotion, WWE.
Also in his post, McGregor – who was recently found found liable in a sexual assault civil case – alluded to the rumours that each man will be paid $250,000,000 for the event. More news is expected soon.
