Social media is ablaze with rumours of a potential blockbuster fight between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor, following a cryptic “Shhh” message from Paul.
The speculation intensified after Paul’s recent victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson, and he now appears poised for another high-profile clash, this time potentially against the MMA superstar.
McGregor had previously made claims that he was negotiating a match with Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, disclosing on social media: “The rumours of a bout with [Ilia] Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
However, it seems Jake has now leapfrogged Logan as the likely contender.
Reports from ESPN suggest that a fight between Jake Paul and McGregor could be slated for somewhere in the stretch of July to September 2025.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul is gearing up to stand in the limelight of WWE next year, aligning with Netflix, and is scheduled to appear on Monday Night Raw on January 6.
While there’s been no official word from Jake Paul about the prospect of fighting McGregor, his suggestive “Shhh” response to the swirling gossip sent fans into frenzy – one excitedly replying: “You’re fighting Conor McGregor let’s go!” while another probed: “When [are] you officially announcing the McGregor fight?”
Fans have been egging on the fight, with one urging “put Conor to sleep”, and others daring the YouTuber to take on McGregor in the cage. Meanwhile, Paul publicly challenged McGregor after his fight with Tyson, suggesting an MMA showdown without weight restrictions.
He taunted on X: “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”
