Since winning the basketball star Nate Robinson with Knockout in November, Jake Paul has challenged many potential opponents on social networks. In particular, the “hardest” opponent Youtuber Jake Paul, now calls himself a professional boxer, has called none other than UFC Conor McGregor superstar.
It is impossible to say that Jake Paul did not try – this guy made an offer worth $ 50 million and constantly poked McGregor's teammates on social networks in order to attract audiences into the battle. But now, Conor McGregor is having other plans.
“We keep waiting to see what might happen. To be honest, to me, Jake Paul is like a child confused, not knowing what he wants,” Conor said in the interview with BT Sport.
Currently, Conor McGregor is focusing on his return at UFC 257 on the night of January 23. In addition to efforts to compete for the Lightweight belt, McGregor also wants to “visit” the Featherweight 145 LBS.
“I will be very serious in the stretching,” “The Notorious” explained.
That means Conor McGregor will temporarily ignore other matches outside UFC. He is in need of focusing on becoming the champion and strengthening his position on the ranking of the best boxers on all weight-for-pounds.
Although asserting “(Jake Paul) is not in my sights” in 2021, that does not mean that the match of Conor McGregor vs. Jake Paul will never happen.
“The Logan Paul is preparing for the upper radio with Floyd Mayweather to be a pretty rafter,” McGregor commented. “It's crazy, but I don't object to such a match. Anyone who dares to do it deserves the best.”
Therefore, a war between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor is not impossible, but it is clear that McGregor's priority at this stage in his martial arts career.
