Tensions between Jake and Logan Paul amidst recent reports linking them each to a Conor McGregor fight are temporarily on hold for Christmas.
It’s been a wild week for the Paul brothers as they prepare to benefit from the Christmas holiday. After Logan was initially linked to fight talks with UFC superstar Conor McGregor, the web nearly broke earlier this week after reports surfaced that Jake was also in talks for a boxing match with the previous UFC champ.
While details surrounding the firestorm fight talks remain cloudy, McGregor is eying a combat sports return in India for a boxing fight with either Paul brother. McGregor hasn’t fought since snapping his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
The narrative that Jake and Logan were attempting to snipe the McGregor fight from the opposite was further fueled after a series of cryptic social media posts from all parties involved. Despite the confusion surrounding the fight talks with the Paul brothers and McGregor, that didn’t stop the brothers from shooting some stunts while with family for Christmas.
Jake and Logan Paul share humorous clips together amidst Conor McGregor fight talks
In a collaborative Instagram post, Jake and Logan might be seen sliding on icy terrain in Ohio while spending time with family for Christmas.
“We do our own stunts, unsuccessfully lol,” Jake posted Tuesday. “So grateful for family and fun this Christmas. Never grow up kids. That’s the important thing. Love you all from the Pauls.”
Jake and Logan were linked to the same tension-filled scenario last 12 months during an episode of Logan’s IMPAULSIVE podcast. During Episode 390, Jake and Logan got right into a heated argument over their boxing careers and the perception that Jake sniped a fight with Nate Diaz from Logan.
Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and Jake defeated Diaz within the ring by unanimous decision. Logan returned to the ring last 12 months against former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis, earning a disqualification victory.
A Jake Paul vs. Diaz rematch has also been floated around after Diaz implored Jake to ‘sign the contract’ in a recent social media post.
UFC CEO Dana White teased a ‘surprise’ announcement through the UFC Tampa post-fight press conference, which many speculated needed to do with McGregor and the Paul brothers. But as of this writing, nothing has been formally announced regarding a fight, although a proposed timeframe is reported for Summer 2025.
Christmas precedes potentially messy Paul vs. McGregor fight talks
Jake most recently defeated heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson within the ring just months ago for his fifth consecutive win. A rematch with Tommy Fury, who handed Jake his first profession defeat last 12 months, has also been proposed as a possible next fight for the polarizing boxer.
The brand new 12 months could feature loads of wild headlines featuring the Paul brothers and McGregor. For now, the Paul brothers seem on good terms as reported fight talks between each of them and McGregor move along.
