Jake Paul includes Conor McGregor on shortlist of opponents for fight after Nate Diaz

Jake Paul has again called for a fight with UFC legend Conor McGregor after he takes on the Irishman's greatest octagon rival Nate Diaz next month.

The social media star, who has transitioned into a 6-1 professional boxer, will take on Diaz in Dallas, Texas on August 5 and is already looking at his next challenge, with a number of big names on his shortlist. McGregor is the biggest name he has mentioned as a possible opponent, but could also rematch Tommy Fury.

Paul was defeated in his last outing, a February showdown with Fury in Saudi Arabia, but dropped the Brit towards the end of a competitive affair. He had defeated Anderson Silva, who was 3-1 including a win over former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, but Fury was considered his first test against a legitimate boxer.
