Jake Paul offers one-word response to speculation he could be set to beat his brother Logan to a huge fight with Conor McGregor

Jake Paul has issued a one-word response to suggestions that he could beat his brother Logan to a fight with Conor McGregor in India.

UFC legend McGregor recently claimed that he will face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India as he dismissed suggestions that he was set to fight Georgian-Spanish fighter Ilia Topuria.

However, it was subsequently claimed that the proposed fight between McGregor and Logan Paul isn’t yet a done deal.

Journalist Ariel Helwani suggested that the Ambani family’s main target to be McGregor’s opponent was in fact Logan’s brother Jake. 

McGregor is in line to make his return to the Octagon having not fought since his successive defeats to Dustin Poirier in 2021.

The identity of his opponent is unclear and Jake Paul has now given his verdict on the situation.

McGregor recently claimed that he will face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India 

However, reports suggested that the fight between McGregor and Logan Paul isn’t finalised 

After the reports emerged, Jake Paul simply posted on X: ‘Shhh’. 

McGregor had written on X last week that he had agreed to fight Logan Paul.

He wrote: ‘The rumours of a bout with [Topuria] are false,’ McGregor wrote on X on Tuesday.

‘I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambrani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.

‘I have agreed.

‘I will then seek my return to the Octagon’.

Journalist Ariel Helwani later suggested that the Ambani family’s preferred opponent for McGregor is Jake Paul, rather than Logan.

Speaking on The Boys In the Back podcast, Helwani said: ‘My understanding was the first choice is we want Jake Paul. We want to be in the Jake Paul business, we want a Jake Paul fight here in India.

It is claimed that the Ambani family’s preference is for Jake Paul to fight McGregor

‘And so then the top choice was Jake Paul versus Conor McGregor, that was the pie in the sky idea. 

‘That’s why Jake Paul tweeted once all of this came out. Now it all makes sense.

Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson in Texas last month.

According the Helwani, the Ambani’s preference for Jake Paul is due to him having a more established reputation as a boxer.
