In a recent conversation, McGregor expressed openness to a bout with Paul. However, the YouTuber who turned to boxing has since advised McGregor to concentrate on his return to the UFC.
Jake Paul has bluntly advised Conor McGregor to “seek assistance” following the UFC icon’s indication of willingness to enter the ring with him.
Initially, Paul, who transitioned from a YouTube celebrity to a professional boxer, actively pursued a bout with McGregor.
However, while Paul has recently backtracked on the idea, McGregor surprised many by signaling openness to the matchup, a departure from his earlier stance of keeping a distance.
“The YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer. Your uncle’s friend needs a f****** radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay. I would consider them guys to be nixers. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the UK,” McGregor told SneekPeakTV.
Currently, Paul appears to lack interest in a bout with McGregor, given the latter’s commitment to a UFC contract, which seemingly sets the stage for his expected matchup against Michael Chandler later in the year.
“Conor you fell off. Get some help man and then get back in that cage to try and finish your contract. Then say my name. Until then you know you don’t control a damn thing to do with your fights,” Paul tweeted, according to Daily Mirror.
Paul improved his boxing record to 9-1 earlier this month, securing a knockout victory over the lesser-known boxer Ryan Bourland. He is slated to return to the ring on July 20 for a high-profile bout against the legendary boxer Mike Tyson.
