Eddie Hearn would love to see Jake Paul fight Conor McGregor in the boxing ring but has conceded it is unlikely to happen.
Paul has been angling for a fight with McGregor since his career in the boxing ring began, after the Irishman previously stepped into the ring with Floyd Mayweather. The YouTube star has now won his five professional fights and has finally received response from McGregor after being persistent in attempting to entice the UFC star into a rivalry.
Hearn believes a boxing fight between the pair would be an even affair, but doesn't anticipate UFC president Dana White will come to the negotiating table with Paul. “I still like Conor McGregor against Jake Paul, but I mean, Conor is looking big these days," Hearn said on the MMA Hour. "I don’t want to disrespect Conor because I really like him, but it’s the size that’s the problem.
