Conor McGregor is set for his next fight against Logan Paul in Mumbai, India. The boxing match pits the former two-division UFC champion of Ireland against the WWE star and boxer of Westlake, Ohio. The weight division, as well as the number of rounds, have yet to be confirmed.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 0-1 boxing) hasn’t fought since 2021, when he suffered two losses to Dustin Poirier. The latter won their first fight in January via second-round TKO with punches, while the rematch in July ended in the first round after “The Notorious” sustained a broken lower tibia.
The 36-year-old Dublin native was scheduled to make his UFC return against TUF 31 rival coach Michael Chandler, but the contest fell through. He was then rumored to face Dan Hooker in an MMA fight in February 2025 in Saudi Arabia.
Conor McGregor made his pro boxing debut in August 2017, going up against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs). The five-division world champion of Grand Rapids, Michigan came out victorious via 10th-round TKO.
Logan Paul (1-1) took the win against Dillon Danis via sixth-round disqualification in a “Misfits Boxing” fight in October 2023. In his first boxing match, the 29-year-old dropped a split decision against KSI.
Each fighter is expected to earn $250 million, FightBook MMA reported.
The venue accommodating the McGregor vs Paul showdown is Wankhede Stadium. The event is held as part of the “Visit India” tourism campaign. The fight date is expected to be determined shortly.
Where would the fundings come from ? $250 million each, that’s serious money !
Also, why India ?
The fight is said to be hosted by the Ambani family.
2 irrelevant Fu#@wits getting paid ridiculous amounts of money.
How stupid are we?
The pubic deserve better but if stupid people keep purchasing these “events” then good luck to the money grubbing so called athletes.
Just boggles the mind
This one is tough to say who will win , but I’m sure it’s scripted like his brothers fight . I’m shocked his brother isn’t in the background doing his signature gay “sshhhhhh pose”!!!
If conner is a true Irishman he will not sell out his legacy to some punk for money I’m not paying or watching i miss watching real boxing matches I bet tank Davis would whoop both of them I suggest America not pay to watch this stuff don’t supply any of your money to go overseas to help fund this
I won’t be watching any boxing matches with Paul Brothers. I can’t stand influencers. How about stop giving these idiots half a billion dollars and start giving it to all the people that actually need help. Those 2 already have way more money than they ever deserved it’s time to share the wealth with the poor who really deserve it
I thought it was Jake Paul fighting Conor Mcgregor??
Boooooooooooooo
Who gives a fuk.
There’s nothing like a comeback go get him Connor be yourself and believe in yourself
