Jake Paul has not been quiet about his desire to fight Conor McGregor. Despite preparing for a bout with Nate Diaz in August, Paul has said on multiple occasions that he wants his next fight after Diaz to be McGregor. However, it was only recently that McGregor responded to Paul's comments.
When asked how he felt about Paul's open challenge to fight him, McGregor called Paul "windy" and a "donkey" while also picking Diaz to win the August fight. Of course, Paul wasn't going to let the slight go unanswered.
Paul Promises McGregor KO
Speaking on IMPAULSIVE, Paul did not holding back when responding to McGregor. “Guess what, Conor? I’ll beat the f****** f*** out of you and you can’t box as good as me. I’m gonna do to Nate what you couldn’t, which is knock him the f*** out. You’re gonna be sitting there with your new beer company that’s failing, drinking it, drunk as f***, realizing that you pissed your life away drinking at the end of the bottle. You’re gonna say, ‘Damn. I really thought no one was gonna do what I did in this sport. I really thought no one was gonna be as big of a name. I really thought I was gonna be the biggest forever.’ But you can’t choose and you can’t have both lives. You can’t have the fun, party, cocaine life, and be the greatest fighter in the world and you chose the wrong path."
Paul continued. “That money fight will always be there and when I knock Nate Diaz the f*** out and you realize I’m the biggest fight for you, call me and I’ll answer. I’m my own boss, I make my own decisions. I’m not controlled by Dana White, I don’t have a dad. So, I can make the fight happen. If Dana lets you make the fight happen, then we can run it.” McGregor is 0-1 in ring boxing after a marquee fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017. However, he is 22-6 in an illustrious MMA career. Meanwhile, Paul is 6-1 in his professional boxing career and is coming off a loss to Tommy Fury in his most recent fight.
