Jake Paul explains why he expects Conor McGregor to reject boxing fight

Jake Paul expects long-term rival Conor McGregor to reject a boxing fight if he beats Anderson Silva.

YouTube star Paul has won all of his five fights as a professional and will look to add his sixth when he takes on UFC legend Silva next weekend in Phoenix. During his time in the sport, Paul has made it clear his main target is former two-weight world champion McGregor.

The Irishman is out of action after breaking his leg last July but has teased a return to the boxing ring in the future, having made an appearance in the squared circle in a defeat by Floyd Mayweather in 2017. However Paul believes McGregor will not see the outing as one he can win and so will look to pursue other options.
