Jake Paul wants to \u201cbreak down\u201d Conor McGregor in the boxing ring like Dustin Poirier YouTube: Jake Paul, ESPN MMAYouTube star Jake Paul has made no bones about his goal to take on some of combat sports\u2019 greatest athletes \u2014 and he just sent a scathing jab toward Conor McGregor after his loss to Dustin Poirier. Jake Paul is showing the world that he is truly the \u201cProblem Child\u201d of influencer boxing, one interview at a time. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who made his first foray into the ring in 2018, now boasts a 3-0 professional record, and he\u2019s hopeful to score a fourth victory against his upcoming opponent, Tyron Woodley, come August 29. Before that, though, the influencer has been on a tear of interviews\u2026 many of which are allowing him to set up future potential opponents, in the process. It\u2019s no secret that Paul\u2019s eyes are potentially bigger than his stomach when it comes to the names he\u2019s got on his proverbial boxing \u201chit list,\u201d taunting the likes of Nate Diaz, Canelo, and even Conor McGregor. While Jake has called out \u2018The Notorious\u2019 McGregor multiple times in the past (even making a chain of the injured athlete after his loss to Dustin Poirier on July 10), this time, he\u2019s really egging it on. During an interview with MMAFightingonSBN, Paul revealed that he hopes to leave McGregor in a similar state as Poirier did during their last grudge match at UFC 264. \u201cHe sort of lost that spunk, and I think that people are kind of second-guessing him,\u201d he began. \u201cHe\u2019s not the same Conor, that\u2019s for sure. It\u2019s not as interesting. However, I would still just like to beat him up. I would want him to freak out in the ring and go crazy and lose his shit. I think it would be funny to see him break down, like how he did against Dustin Poirier.\u201d (Topic begins at 19:42) Despite his trash-talk, Paul made sure to note that viewers should continue to respect McGregor due to his major accomplishments, and stated that regardless of his most recent loss, a fight with the Notorious would certainly be a major one to grace Jake\u2019s record. McGregor himself has expressed a passing interest in shifting to boxing over MMA \u2014 but whether or not these two will ever hash it out in the future remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
