Jake Paul makes new Conor McGregor offer after claim YouTube star is too heavy

Jake Paul has offered to cut to 175lb in an effort to secure a fight with Conor McGregor.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has weighed in as heavy as 192lb during his five-fight professional boxing career but has vowed to cut light-heavyweight to make a fight with the UFC legend happen. McGregor famously won the UFC's 145lb and 155lb titles, but has also won twice at 170lb against Nate Diaz and Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone.

And it has been theorised that McGregor, who was forced out of action for almost a year with a broken leg suffered against Dustin Poirier last summer, is currently around the same weight as Paul. He has packed on considerable muscle while training for his return, and has recently returned to boxing training, with full sparring to commence next month.
