Conor McGregor has officially announced his return to combat sports but not in the way many fans expected. Taking to social media, the MMA icon revealed that he has “agreed” to an exhibition boxing match against YouTube star and former WWE champion Logan Paul.
This news comes as McGregor, once the UFC’s biggest draw, continues his journey back to peak form following a devastating leg injury he suffered during his 2021 fight with Dustin Poirier. While fans had hoped for a triumphant return to the Octagon, McGregor confirmed that his UFC comeback will be delayed until after his clash with Paul.
Conor McGregor is determined to maintain his presence in the combat sports spotlight, and it seems he may be getting support from some very powerful and influential figures.
On December 17, McGregor took to social media to announce that he’s in talks for an exhibition boxing match against influencer and WWE Superstar Logan Paul. The fight, according to McGregor, is set to take place in India and is reportedly being backed by the “Ambani family,” one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country.
McGregor also used the post to clarify his plans moving forward. After the boxing match, he intends to focus on his long-awaited return to the UFC, putting to rest recent speculation that he would face rising UFC contender Ilia Topuria.
Here’s a look at McGregor’s post on X :
The match will mark McGregor’s second foray into professional boxing. His first was in 2017, a blockbuster bout against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. Though McGregor ultimately lost via TKO, the fight cemented his status as a crossover star capable of drawing huge audiences in any arena.
Has Logan Paul Commented on This Fight?
The answer is yes, in a way. Logan Paul posted the image on his Instagram story, which seems to serve as some confirmation there have been talks of having the exhibition fight.
While no official date has been set for the highly anticipated showdown between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul, the announcement has already created a buzz in both the combat sports world and beyond.
