Jake Paul plunges Conor McGregor fight into fresh doubt with "scared" jibe

Jake Paul has insisted Conor McGregor is "scared" to fight him and doubts he will touch gloves with the UFC star.

The YouTube star is set to meet bitter rival Tommy Fury in his seventh professional boxing match this weekend as he eyes the biggest scalp of his career in Saudi Arabia. Paul has previously fought a whole host of UFC stars who have made the switch to the squared circle including Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley.

And the 'Problem Child' is hoping that they are not the last to make the move despite now mixing it with fighters with a natural background in the sport. Paul has made a relentless campaign to share the ring with UFC superstar McGregor who has already previously laced up his gloves and fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
