Jake Paul challenges UFC fighter Conor McGregor to boxing match in Ireland Instagram\/jakepaul\/thenotoriousmmaJake Paul is once again calling out UFC star Conor McGregor for a fight, this time letting the Irishman know that he wants their boxing match to take place on his own turf. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul has taken the fight world by storm. With a 5-0 record, the Problem Child has secured KOs over UFC fighters such as Ben Askren and former Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley. As he continues to make his mark, there has been one opponent on Paul\u2019s radar for over a year: Conor McGregor. Yet, despite his best efforts to provoke a confrontation, the Irishman has yet to accept the YouTuber\u2019s challenges. That all might change now that Jake has outlined where he wants a fight between the two to take place: McGregor\u2019s home country of Ireland. Jake Paul makes bold fight offer to Conor McGregor Speaking at a London press conference for the upcoming fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, Paul touched on the ultimate goal of his fighting career, that being a bout with The Notorious One himself. \u201cI want to fight McGregor, I will fight him in a boxing ring in Ireland,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThis is partially how the journey [in boxing] started.\u201d According to Paul, securing a fight with the former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight double champion is what made him want to get into boxing to begin with. \u201cI made up my mind that I was going to get a fight with McGregor and win it and that is what motivated me to jump into this boxing career,\u201d the influencer added. Will McGregor accept Jake Paul\u2019s fight offer? As Dexerto previously reported, Paul had stated that in order for a fight with McGregor to go down, he would need the embattled star to \u201cfigure out his life,\u201d but still wanted to \u201csmack him in the head.\u201d Unfortunately, as McGregor is currently recovering from a leg injury sustained during his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier last summer and wants to make a UFC return, a boxing match with Paul could be unlikely. That said, with Jake wanting to get involved in MMA himself, there is always a chance that the two end up meeting at some point, potentially in the octagon instead of a boxing ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
