It looks like 2025 could be the year Conor McGregor steps into the ring once again. The Irish fighter has recently confirmed his comeback plans, which include a bold challenge to Jake and Logan Paul.

It’s been quite some time since the world last saw McGregor in action. The mixed martial artist is a legendary figure in combat sports, with many fans even hailing him as one of the greatest fighters in history.

Interestingly, McGregor’s journey in combat sports began in boxing before he transitioned to MMA. Now, there’s a strong chance he could return to his boxing roots, potentially taking on two of the most polarizing figures in the sport.

“This is the real deal, you know that bro. We’ll do it,” Connor McGregor said to Logan Paul in the YouTuber’s latest video titled Face to Face with Conor McGregor. We can do what? 190, 195lbs? [Jake Paul] was sick. He was sick over it! Listen, here’s the deal. I’m going to slap the head off the two of you and KSI. You are nixers to me. Do you understand that? Side jobs.”
