YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is slowly and tactically rising to fame. He has fought a couple of MMA fighters in the boxing ring and earned a lot of money from it. For a long time, he is trying to call out Conor McGregor. There have been several online verbal exchanges between the two in the past.

Along the same lines, the 25-year-old boxer recently targeted the former UFC champion during a press conference. Jake Paul joined famous boxing promoter Eddie Hearn at the pre-fight promotion of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano.

He was out there to promote the boxing bout between the undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor and the unified featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano. He used Taylor’s Irish identity to take a jibe at fellow Irishman Conor McGregor.

While answering a question from the stage, Jake Paul said, “Look I don’t, I don’t have anything to say about that. What I do have to say for the Irish is, I feel bad for y’all because this is the start of Katie Taylor’s losing streak just like Conor McGregor. This is the start of her losing streak just like Conor McGregor.”

Jake Paul has made his attempt to incite Conor McGregor in order to keep their online feud going. However, ‘The Notorious’ is yet to respond to this insult to him and his compatriot Katie Taylor. 

Who will Conor McGregor fight on his comeback?

Despite multiple attempts from ‘The Problem Child’, ‘The Mystic Mac’ is not likely to take him on anytime soon. Currently, the Notorious is recovering from a year-old injury he sustained during his fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

However, McGregor might make his comeback to the Octagon later this year. He has been posting pictures and videos flaunting his jacked physique, claiming he is ready to return. Although there is still some time before he is fit to fight.

The Notorious’ has started sparring and the wait might be over in 2022 itself. This has led to fans speculating about who his next opponent would be. McGregor is the biggest money fight in the UFC, so it is unlikely that someone will deny a fight against him. However, there is still no clarity or confirmation from the promotion so far.
