“I want to fight (Conor) McGregor. I want to fight him in a boxing ring in Ireland. That's how the journey (in boxing) began. I decided I was going to fight McGregor and beat him. It was one of the main reasons I started a career in boxing”, revealed Paul during a press conference to promote the fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor in the sport.

Combat, however, is unlikely at the moment. Conor McGregor still recovering from an injury suffered in the trilogy against Dustin poirier, in July 2021. In fact, despite not being the lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg), he remains one of the main assets of Dana White, president of the company.

The chance of negotiating a possible superfight also promoted by Ultimate, as in the case of the duel between McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, is also minimal. In the end, Jake Paul and Dana White have exchanged public provocations about payments to the franchise's fighters. The YouTuber also made a 'diss' – a song in attack – to the president on the subject.
