Jake Paul explains why he\u2019d rather fight Conor McGregor over Mike Tyson Jake Paul\/Instagram\/Andrius Petrucenia, FlickrInfluencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul is finally making his return to the ring against MMA legend Anderson Silva, but he still has his heart set on fighting Conor McGregor \u2013 even more so than Mike Tyson. Boxing superstar Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm with an undefeated record of 5-0, including KOs against UFC fighters Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. While the Problem Child has certainly made a name for himself in the ring, he\u2019s been clear that fighting Conor McGregor would be his biggest challenge ever and has tried countless times to get the Notorious One\u2019s attention. In a recent interview, the YouTuber explained why fighting Conor McGregor is still number one on his list of big matches despite fans clamoring for him to settle the score against KSI. Jake Paul explains why Conor McGregor is his \u201cbiggest\u201d fight Speaking with Sun Sport, Paul claimed that for him, there would be no bigger fight than a match against Conor McGregor. \u201cJust because the press conferences would be off the charts. And from a boxing perspective, it\u2019s a very high-level bout,\u201d he explained, further noting how a match against Floyd Mayweather wouldn\u2019t draw as much attention. According to the influencer, he doesn\u2019t think Mayweather would fight him in an actual match, but as he previously said, if Floyd put his undefeated record on the line, he\u2019d do it. The Problem Child also dismissed a fight against Iron Mike when compared to McGregor, remarking: \u201cMike Tyson is older, it\u2019s obviously still huge but that\u2019s why I think McGregor is the biggest name there, for sure.\u201d It remains to be seen if Paul and McGregor ever will throw down, but if the YouTuber can best Anderson Silva, anything is possible, even perhaps a fight inside the Octagon with The Problem Child teasing an MMA announcement in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
