Conor McGregor rival doubles down on offer to Jake Paul ahead of MMA debut

Tony Ferguson has renewed his offer to train YouTube star Jake Paul for his MMA debut in 2024.

Paul announced that he would make his MMA debut after signing with promotion PFL on a long-term deal with a view to competing in the cage and mentoring fighters. The YouTube star has always said he wishes to compete in MMA and boxing, and is already hoping to bring big events to the PFL, including a fight against Nate Diaz, to whom he has already made a two-bout offer.

It is expected that Paul will first focus on his boxing career before beginning MMA training ahead of beginning competition in the cage in 2024. UFC star Ferguson had insisted he would be willing to help out in the 'Problem Child's' camp if required, tweeting: "Let me know when you need a good MMA coach @jakepaul. You can be one of my students."
