It is not news anymore that, ‘The Problem Child’ who is 5-0 in his boxing career has been eyeing for the big names in UFC. ‘The Notorious’ has been on his radar for a long now.

Given his transition to boxing once for a clash against Floyd Mayweather in 2017, Paul believes he can bag a fight with McGregor. However, the former UFC two-weight champion never responded to any of his call-outs. But ‘The Notorious ‘ had a different way today.
