Conor McGregor\u2019s coach shares update on Jake Paul fight rumors Instagram\/JakePaul\/ConorMcGregorInfluencer-turned-undefeated boxer Jake Paul has made his desire to fight UFC superstar Conor McGregor extremely well-known, but the odds of the two actually facing off could be even less likely than originally thought. During his 5-0 boxing run, Jake Paul has frequently called out Conor McGregor on social media, challenging the Irishman to fight in the boxing ring. His efforts to get McGregor\u2019s attention even included siding with The Notorious One\u2019s nemesis Dustin Poirier by designing a $100k chain mocking the former champ following a brutal loss. While McGregor didn\u2019t respond to Paul\u2019s attacks publicly, in November, the YouTuber claimed a fight with him was \u201cnot far away\u201d and could happen within 24 months. But that seems to not be the case, according to McGregor\u2019s coach. McGregor\u2019s coach shares disappointing update on Jake Paul fight In an interview with The Mirror, Conor McGregor\u2019s coach John Kavanagh touched on the possibility of a fight with Paul and if anything was in the works. In response to a question about Paul\u2019s manager reportedly being in contact with McGregor\u2019s, Kavanagh was baffled. \u201cHe might talk to Audie [Attal] all the time, but no,\u201d Kavanagh said. \u201cI heard something about Jake Paul being managed by an ex-UFC CFO. And I guess it\u2019s interesting to hear some of the negotiation tactics by that big organization being leaked through Jake Paul, so it\u2019s kind of fun to follow that.\u201d That said, a bout between The Notorious One and The Problem Child seems like it hasn\u2019t been considered seriously at all. \u201cBut as for Conor vs Jake, I\u2019ve honestly never once heard that, and I\u2019ve heard some very crazy things, but that\u2019s never been suggested,\u201d Kavanagh added. We\u2019ll have to see what the new year holds for Jake Paul, especially as his rivalry with UFC boss Dana White continues with the YouTuber desperately trying to battle mixed martial artist Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
