IRVING, Texas – It’s become old hat for Jake Paul to try and lure UFC star Conor McGregor into a boxing match, so it’s only natural that the YouTuber-turned-professional-prizefighter would use the afterglow of his win over Mike Tyson to do it again.
Paul, 27, predictably had an easy time with 58-year-old Tyson en route to a lopsided unanimous decision in their eight-round heavyweight bout Friday night before 70,000-plus fans at AT&T Stadium. The fight drew massive interest as it served as the headliner to streaming giant Netflix’s first foray into live sports.
With manager Nakisa Bidarian by his side during the post-fight news conference, Paul was asked if he’s interested in setting up a fight with McGregor, and the response was almost daring from both men.
