However, ‘The Problem Child’ thinks that he could easily beat McGregor in a boxing match as well as the Octagon. In addition, he was not shy to call out the UFC star on social media. This came after McGregor replied to a fan on social media who claimed that he would fight in influencer boxing in 5 to 6 years. McGregor would then jokingly ask if there would be belts for the match, which promoted Paul to call him out.

Jake Paul responds to Conor McGregor’s tweet

In his tweet, Paul claimed that the Irishman didn’t fight for a belt for almost 4 years and that he lost 3 of his last 4 fights. Moreover, he stated he could beat McGregor with one arm tied behind his back in a boxing match but would need two hands to beat him in MMA.

You fight for belts? Last time you fought for a belt was 4 years ago. Lost 3 of your last 4 fights. I would knock you out in the squared circle with one hand tied behind my back. To be fair, in the cage I would need two hands. But same result.” He wrote.
