Jake Paul challenges Conor McGregor to boxing match in Dublin Jake Paul has called out UFC double Champion Conor McGregor, challenging him to a co-main event boxing match in Dublin, Ireland on May 20. Following the \u2018It Doesn\u2019t Get Any Better Than This\u2019 main event bout between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, UFC powerhouse Conor McGregor was asked who he thought would win in the upcoming match between YouTuber Jake Paul and MMA vet Nate Diaz. McGregor has a 1-1 record against Diaz, fighting twice in 2016. Having experienced what it\u2019s like to be in the ring with the MMA scrapper, McGregor matter-o-factly stated, \u201cI think Nate Diaz slaps the head off [Jake Paul], and I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d Of course, Jake Paul didn\u2019t let these shots slide, as he took to Twitter to extend a challenge to McGregor. Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor Shortly after the prediction, Jake Paul took to Twitter to exchange words with McGregor. \u201cI\u2019m a better boxer than you, Conor,\u201d Paul stated. \u201c[I\u2019ll] do what you couldn\u2019t and knock Nate out.\u201d When McGregor fought Diaz in 2016, he lost in the second round via submission. But in their rematch just five months later, McGregor pulled off the victory. However, the fight went all five rounds, and McGregor was decided the victor by the judges. \u201cAfter Nate, let\u2019s box as the co-main event the same night as Katie Taylor VS. Amanda Serrano in Dublin,\u201d Jake laid down the challenge. However, this line is a bit confusing. Taylor and Serrano are set to rematch on May 20, 2023, a whole three months before Jake\u2019s bout with Diaz. Seeing as Jake or McGregor would have to have a significant weight change before their fight. It\u2019s likely Jake is referencing a potential third fight between Serran and Taylor sometime in 2024. Jake then topped off his challenge with a jab of his own, stating, \u201cBut since you\u2019re not your own boss, you will hide behind Dana or just drink the rest of your life away. August 5th, you will see.\u201d Nate Diaz is Jake Paul\u2019s first opponent since his loss against Tommy Fury in February. Paul, known for knocking out his opponents, wasn\u2019t able to put Fury to sleep, going the distance but ultimately losing by decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
