Conor McGregor has teased a big return to sports with a boxing match against wrestling and UFC athletes in India in 2025. Recently, McGregor has been in the news after losing a lawsuit in a civil rape case, but it looks like he’s ready to move forward. Originally, the fight was supposed to be with Jake Paul, but now it will be against Jake’s brother, Logan Paul.
Last week, Conor McGregor created a buzz online by hinting his comeback would be in boxing, not MMA. He revealed to X that he was planning a major fight with the Ambani family in India.
The latest news is that the event will be part of India’s “Visit India” tourism campaign and will happen at Mumbai’s famous Wankhede cricket stadium, which holds 33,000 people.
