Conor McGregor will fight Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India, according to the former UFC champion. McGregor also denied rumors of a fight with Ilia Topuria in the UFC.
Conor McGregor has announced that he will face Logan Paul in a boxing match in India . The shamed former two-weight UFC champion hasn't fought since suffering successive defeats to Dustin Poirier three years ago. But taking to social media this morning, the Irishman claimed he has made an agreement to take on influencer Paul in a boxing bout in India . However, the Dubliner denied speculation that he is set to return to the Octagon to face featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.
'The rumors of a bout with Topuria are false,' McGregor posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday. 'I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the octagon.' McGregor, 36, was last month found liable for the sexual assault of Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel room in 2018. The disgraced brawler - who has vowed to appeal the verdict - was ordered to pay hair stylist Hand over £200,000 in damages in addition to her legal costs. His career was thrown into even further doubt after the UFC star admitted using cocaine and drinking during the events of December 2018. But it appears Mac will now attempt to resurrect his fighting career by battling Paul - brother of Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake - before making his UFC comeback. Paul has fought just twice professionally, beating Dillon Danis in 2023 and losing to fellow celebrity boxer KSI in 2019
