Conor McGregor made a large announcement on Tuesday. McGregor shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, announcing an upcoming fight with Logan Paul.
“The rumors of a bout with topurio are false,” McGregor wrote. “I’m in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I actually have agreed. I’ll then seek my return to the Octagon.”
McGregor wrote that he has agreed to face Paul in a “boxing exhibition in India.”
Paul is understood within the fighting world for his WWE experience, while McGregor is most frequently related to MMA. The 2 are apparently set to fight in a boxing exhibition, though. McGregor’s announcement comes just over a month after Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, fought Mike Tyson in a bout that Jake ultimately won.
The Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight drew loads of attention despite being removed from an exciting event. One has to assume that a Conor McGregor-Logan Paul fight would also captivate audiences, even when it also finally ends up not being probably the most thrilling bout.
Fans weren’t especially enthusiastic about McGregor’s announcement, though.
“You will not be a boxer. Are you going to fight him MMA style? You stand a likelihood of ruining your popularity if you happen to lose this,” one fan wrote.

“To be quite honest I do not know anybody that is an actual diehard MMA fan that desires to see you come to the octagon. You play too many games. Go make your money that you simply apparently need from a boxing match and just ride off into the sunset,” one other fan added.
“What a joke,” a 3rd fan wrote. “what a technique to spoil your legacy.”
Although the initial reactions don’t exactly suggest much interest within the fight, it might not be surprising to see a Logan Paul-Conor McGregor bout find yourself producing respectable rankings.
