Jake Paul explains how he will tempt Conor McGregor into finally accepting fight

Jake Paul believes knocking out Nate Diaz next month will be enough to convince Conor McGregor to finally agree to a super-fight between the pair.

The American social media sensation is 6-1 as a professional boxer, and has already defeated legendary UFC champions such as Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. He has been calling for a crossover fight with McGregor for the better part of three years, but has received almost no response in that time.

McGregor has made brief replies to Paul on Twitter, but more recently refused to even mention his rival's name while discussing the bout - which he feels Diaz will win. However, the YouTuber believes he can earn the fight and the Irishman's attention, by stopping his opponent on August 5.
