A battle between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor is apparently being planned for 2025, with rumours circulating that the UFC star may face Logan Paul instead. Jake Paul has regularly challenged Conor McGregor to a fight since his debut in the combat sports industry. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is excited to battle the UFC icon in the boxing ring.
Initially, McGregor ignored Jake’s challenges, calling him and his brother Logan “dingbats.” However, the Irishman’s trash talk has recently become more personal. McGregor has continuously opposed Jake in his fights, openly backing his opponents, including Jake’s recent fight with Mike Tyson. Now it appears that the long-awaited clash between the two may take place.

According to Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN Mexico, a fight between Jake and Conor is “on the table” for 2025. “July, August, or September,” Rodriguez shared in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The report also suggested that India might be the host country for the highly anticipated fight, though no specific city or venue has been mentioned.
This news emerges amid speculation about a potential fight between McGregor and Logan Paul. McGregor fueled the rumours by claiming he had agreed to a battle with the impulsive host. “The rumours of a bout with Topuri[a] are false,” McGregor posted on December 17. “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed.” However, there has been no significant progress on the matter since McGregor’s post.
