Jake Paul believes Conor McGregor is one defeat away from accepting a crossover bout against the YouTube star.
Paul has been pushing for a fight with McGregor over the past few years, but has only recently drawn the attention of the legendary MMA star. The Irishman is one of the most well-known athletes on the planet, and until earlier this year has tended to steer clear of acknowledging either Jake or his brother Logan.
But speaking with Mirror Fighting as he prepares for his return to the octagon later this year, McGregor refused to rule out a future bout with Paul. Asked if his next opponent would be the social media star, he replied "never say never", although he is currently focusing on getting back to fighting in the MMA cage as opposed to Paul's preferred sport of boxing.
