During an interview this week with TalkSport, Paul mentioned McGregor as a desired opponent after his upcoming boxing match against another former UFC star in Nate Diaz on Aug. 5.
Paul’s Confidence
Paul expressed confidence that he can beat McGregor in either a boxing match or an MMA fight. He stated, ‘We can fight in the PFL smart cage, whatever it is. I told everybody I would fight Conor in any form of fight. Because, in my opinion, he is that shot. I’ll do MMA. I’m not afraid. I’ve wanted to do that my whole career. [I have] a wrestling background. All I’d have to learn is some jiu-jitsu and some kicks, which seems pretty easy to me.’
Paul’s Boxing Success
The 26-year-old Paul, who was best known for being a YouTuber and social media influencer before breaking into boxing, has experienced a great deal of success during his brief time in the ring. Paul began his boxing career 6-0 with victories over former UFC stars such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. Paul suffered his first loss in February when he fell to Tommy Fury by split decision.
McGregor’s Background
McGregor, on the other hand, has just one professional boxing match to his credit, as he lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. by 10th-round technical knockout in a massive crossover fight in 2017. However, McGregor has a career record of 22-6 in MMA and is a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion.
Conclusion
While McGregor has not fought since suffering a broken leg in his last fight, there is a widely expected comeback against Michael Chandler in the coming months. McGregor is no stranger to crossing over within the world of combat sports , and a fight with Paul could prove to be an intriguing option for both fighters.
