- Jake Paul has responded to suggestions he could face Conor McGregor
- There are claims that he could beat Logan in the McGregor fight
Jake Paul has responded in one word to suggestions he could beat his brother Logan in a fight with Conor McGregor in India.
UFC legend McGregor recently claimed he will face Logan Paul at a boxing exhibition in India as he dismissed suggestions he was set to fight Georgian-Spanish fighter Ilia Topuria.
However, it was subsequently claimed that the proposed fight between McGregor and Logan Paul is not yet a done deal.
Journalist Ariel Helwani suggested that the Ambani family’s main target to be McGregor’s opponent was in fact Logan’s brother Jake.
McGregor is set to return to the Octagon after not fighting since back-to-back defeats to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
The identity of his opponent is unclear and Jake Paul has now given his assessment of the situation.

However, reports indicate that the fight between McGregor and Logan Paul has not yet been finalized
After the reports surfaced, Jake Paul simply posted to X: “Shhh.”
McGregor had written to X last week that he had agreed to fight Logan Paul.
He wrote: ‘The rumors of a fight with [Topuria] are false,” McGregor wrote on X on Tuesday.
“I have made preliminary arrangements with the Ambrani family to meet Logan Paul at a boxing exhibition in India.
‘I agreed.
“Then I will seek my return to the Octagon.”
Journalist Ariel Helwani later suggested that the Ambani family’s favorite opponent for McGregor is Jake Paul, rather than Logan.
Helwani said on The Boys In the Back podcast: “My first choice was we want Jake Paul. We want to get into the Jake Paul business, we want a Jake Paul fight here in India.
It is said that the Ambani family prefers Jake Paul to fight McGregor
“And so the top choice was Jake Paul versus Conor McGregor, that was the pipe dream idea.
“That’s why Jake Paul tweeted when this all came out. Now it all makes sense.
Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson in Texas last month.
According to the Helwani, the Ambani’s preference for Jake Paul is due to the fact that he has a more established reputation as a boxer.
