In the ongoing saga between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor, the tension shows no signs of dissipating. During a recent appearance on DAZN Boxing’s YouTube channel, Paul engaged in a game of Finish the Sentence, providing insights into a hypothetical clash with McGregor. According to Paul, a bout between him and McGregor would be “pretty freaking massive, entertaining, and fun.” Confident in his abilities, he asserted, “I would beat his a**.”
Paul claimed that McGregor didn’t want to face him. He stated, “Him knowing my skill level is greater than his in such a short amount of time.” Paul even claimed to be McGregor’s most significant potential opponent in combat sports. With Paul’s recent signing with the PFL, the prospect of a showdown with McGregor looms large, adding another layer to this ongoing feud.
