YouTube sensation turned boxer, Logan Paul, has expressed doubt over the likelihood of mixed martial artist Conor McGregor agreeing to a fight with him. 

Despite Paul’s forays into boxing, including an unexpected exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather in 2021, McGregor remains an uncertain opponent. Witness the boxing world champions in action with attractive betting odds from Nextbet.

Paul, who, unlike his brother Jake, has not pursued a professional boxing license, acknowledges the potential showdown’s appeal. However, he firmly believes McGregor knows how such a clash would conclude. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Paul stated, “Maybe, if he has the [courage], I would fight Conor McGregor. He knows how that would end. I’ll try. Conor goes radio silent when I tweet at him and I bring his name up.”

While Paul acknowledges the significance of his eight-round exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather, he remains cautious about committing to a full-time boxing career. “I don’t want to be a professional boxer,” Paul explained. “I have so many interests and passions that I want to pursue. Boxing’s fun. I really like it, I like entertaining.”

He recognized the unique challenges and pressures associated with professional boxing. “This is one of the hardest jobs in the world. There are so many things that people just don’t understand and they can’t comprehend, beyond just the insane amount of hard work that people put in to just be a boxer.”

Reflecting on his clash with Mayweather, Paul emphasized the transformative impact it had on his life. “Fighting Floyd Mayweather, he’s the greatest boxer alive. What does that do to your mind? This would just eat every other person’s brain away. You go against Floyd Mayweather, if you live, you’re going to get respect.”

Paul vividly recalled the moment that changed his life: “He [Mayweather] guaranteed a knockout,” he continued. “Round eight ends and I think: ‘I just changed my entire life.’ And I did. I knew if I weathered Floyd that night and I was able to stay strong, my whole life would change, and it really has.”

While the possibility of a bout with Conor McGregor remains uncertain, Logan Paul’s journey in the world of boxing continues to captivate fans and intrigue fellow athletes. Get the latest updates from the world of boxing only on Nextbet Sports.
