Jake Paul claims to be bigger fighting star than Conor McGregor
The Problem Child talked about the possibility of taking on Conor McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion. The YouTuber-turned-boxer acknowledged the potential fight, fueling rumors of a high-profile bout.
Paul said, “McGregor would be pretty freaking massive, and entertaining… and fun. I would beat his *ss. He won’t fight me. At this point, it’s funny how it went from, like, me calling him out, to that seeming crazy, to now me being bigger in the sport than he is, and him knowing my skill level is greater than his in such a short amount of time. Life’s crazy.”

Paul said, “I don’t know why they want me to keep on promoting this f**king fight. I don’t care…This is literally just so I can get experience. Like, I’m wearing the same outfit as my last fight. Like, I’m just showing up and knocking this guy the f**k out…We don’t need to promote this sh*t.”
